Tenerife Carnival | General Recommendations:

• Bring comfortable clothes that combine with the carnival costume, with as many colours as you could bring to the fore to help make it a beautiful and colourful carnival.
• Wear comfortable shoes or sandals because you may find yourself walking around or dancing all the time- this is the charm of Carnaval de Tenerife.
• Keep a bottle of water always with you (it gets warm during the day, not for the sake of the sun, but for the enormous energy you will be expelling).
• A bag full of fruits or cereals to bring along wouldn’t prove to be a bad idea either. However, you may not have to face trouble for food as you will find the pueblos of Tenerife (towns and villages). On the streets, there will be several kiosks- called chiringuitos in Tenerife, restaurants and bars.

It is the most spectacular instance of volcanism in the world. Famous for being the best example of alpine volcanic ecosystems in the Canary Islands, you may not want to end your vacation in Tenerife without experiencing the stunning National Park.

• Mount Teide

Reaching Spain’s highest summit, Mount Teide is a dream shared by many tourists. Witnessing Teide’s crater during the slopes is a magnificent experience: being in the position of observing various islands at the same time and the entire Tenerife’s geography at your feet or exhaling the smell of sulphur emitter from volcanic fumaroles. These are some of the adventures that await adventurers and hikers to ascend to Mt. Teide’s summit.

Also, if hiking doesn’t excite you, go up Mount Teide by Cable Car in a private group just for you or whomever you want to bring along, including an expert and the permission to ascent to its crater.

Firstly, Tenerife’s climate is widely renowned for its mild summers and moderately warm winters, as well as, constant occupancy of the sun almost all year round. Tenerife temperatures range between lows of 17C (62F) in winter and highs of 25C (77F) in the summer months.

Moreover, unusual orography of the Canary Islands fosters varying weather conditions in different areas, to the point that you could even find yourself having fun in the snow of El Teide’s slopes in the forenoon and swimming or sunbathing on the south coast in the evening.
