This tour program was created to explore in one day the most beautiful and protected natural parks on Tenerife: Volcano Teide & Anaga Cloud Forest. Teide National Park has volcanic landscapes with many ancient craters that will bring a different Mars like planet feeling, while Anaga is an always green cloud forest located on the North Eastern tip of Tenerife where Atlantic trade winds form daily a sea of clouds. You will be able to discover and explore the unique volcanic landscapes formed on Tenerife during millions years of evolution, sense different climacteric zones and learn about the Canary Islands history, endemic flora and fauna, to walk or hike following the paths of ancient indigenous tribes Guanches that habited Canary islands before the arrival of Spaniards. As a photographer I usually make some professional portraits of the guests from the locations we visit. Not obligatory though. Optionally we can stop at a local restaurant to try Canarian specialities. See you :)
