Day 4Costa AdejeJourney through the heart of Tenerife on your Volcan Samara guided hike in Teide National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to Spain’s highest peak, Teide. Located in the centre of the island, this park offers a landscape of volcanic craters, petrified lava flows and rock formations that resemble the surface of another planet. Samara’s circular trail winds through pine forests and past lava fields offering panoramic views of Tiede, Pico Viejo and the Atlantic Ocean. But Tenerife isn’t just about volcanoes — it’s also one of the world’s largest producers of Canarian bananas. After your hike, visit a nearby banana plantation and learn about this local tradition.
