The programme

We will depart from Santa Cruz De Tenerife heading towards at La Esperanza Forest, where a magnificent pine reserve awaits, inside which we will also discover a eucalyptus plantation. From here, we already get an attractive view of Mount Teide.
After a short break to take some photos, we will enter the Las Cañadas del Teide National Park, which presently covers an area of 18,990 hectares and includes the volcanic crater from where the majestic Mount Teide emerges, the highest summit in Spain (3,718 metres).
We will continue our tour heading towards the Ucanca Valley, famous for its lava expanse: we will stop at "Mirador de Los Roques de García", a stunning panoramic viewpoint famous for its lava formations, which, subsequent to eruptions and stratification, have taken on the most bizarre of shapes. Amongst these, the famous Roque Chinchado, also known as "Finger of God".
Before returning to the ship, we will have some time to take photos.
