Tenerife, Spain: A cool and awesome island trip
==================================
Tenerife, Spain: A cool and awesome island trip✨🌍Dear friends, today I want to share a unique travel experience - Tenerife, Spain. This place is simply another planet! It makes people want to explore every corner.
Highlights of the trip✨
Our first stop is Teide Peak of Mirador de Azulejos II. This dormant volcano is the highest peak in Spain, and its spectacular scenery makes us feel like we are in a movie scene. That feeling can only be described as 'wow~'.
Then, we followed the winding mountain road to Los Gigantes cliffs. Standing on the viewing platform on the cliff, you will be shocked by the spectacular scenery in front of you. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you experience that feeling.
Next, we came to the mysterious Masca valley and Masca village. This village located in the deep valley between steep cliffs has a unique atmosphere of isolation from the world. It's like stepping into another world.
In order to appreciate the beauty of sunrise and sunset, we went to Mirador de Esperanza. Standing there, watching the sun rise or fall slowly, it feels like time has stopped.
Then, we visited the unique natural arch of Arco de Tajao stone arch. Standing underneath, you will feel the magic and endless power of nature.
There is also a very special 'Drago Siete Fuentes' dragon tree. Although you have to pay to enter, its uniqueness and vitality are shocking.
Finally, we went to Zapatilla de la Reina or Queen’s shoe. This is one of the beautiful rock formations in Teide National Park, where you can see the lava terrain. Walking through here, it's like being in a magical world.
Travel tips📌
Generally speaking, airfare, accommodation, meals and transportation costs need to be considered. In addition, some attractions may require tickets or guide fees. It is recommended to plan reasonably according to personal budget and plan!
In general, the travel experience in Tenerife is full of surprises and touches. Every scene makes people linger, as if they are in a dreamlike world. If you are looking for a unique travel destination, then Tenerife is definitely a choice worth considering!✨🌍

Had the best time in tennerife recently, went on a tour of the historical three small villages along the Mt. Teide: Icod, Masca and Garachico. Would definitely recommend this tour as you learn a bunch of fun and interesting facts! And the views of insane as you go higher and higher up the mountain all the way to the national park of Mt. Teide. Next adventure, explore Mt. Teide by the night to see the stars and sunset ❤️#bucketlistreboot#mountainview

Ted Peak (Spanish: Pico del Teide, English name Teide Peak) is somewhat strange to the Chinese, and we are also pushing the travel agency to play. Its most deadly charm is too beautiful, and some of the beauty is suffocating. Teide is the volcanic peak of central Tenerife in the Canary Islands of Spain. It is the third largest volcano in the world and an active volcano. Its last eruption was in 1798. The Teide volcano and its surroundings form the Parque Nacional del Teide, which was listed as a World Heritage Site in 2007. Today, Teide is a famous tourist attraction, and Teide National Park has become the second largest national park in Europe and the second largest in the world.
As one of the world's natural heritage sites, Teide is a must-see for all visitors to Tenerife! There are many ways to visit Teide: the most recommended self-driving drive on Ted Peak (from a safety point of view, I suggest that it is best to entrust a local travel agency to drive a car to the mountain); the most reliable to take a bus with the group one day Tour; the most exciting to take a paraglider from the mountainside of Teide to the mountain. Because we were accustomed to it, we finally chose to drive by ourselves and gave up the gliding that we wanted to try.
In addition, Ted Peak has a cable car that can take a higher point on the cable car, but the cable car is off work at 4 pm, and the person who needs to take the cable car must arrive at the ticket before four o'clock.
