Tenerife to Cyprus

Blessed with a salubrious climate and many breathtaking beaches of volcanic origin, Tenerife - the largest island of the seven Canary Islands - is a popular tourist destination. Besides sun, sea and sand, which are actually the defining features of this island, there are many natural and man made attractions. The quaint beach resorts at Santa Cruz are the major attractions of this island. These resorts feature many exciting water parks, including the Aqualand. Ideal for visitors of all ages, this park has a wide selection of water slides and pools. To add to the fun, dolphin shows and several other marine exhibitions are held here. Mount Teide - the highest in Spain and the third highest volcano in the world - is another major draw of Tenerife. Wherever tourists are on the island, this sky-scraping mountain can be clearly seen. Another must-visit is the Teide National Park, which is listed as a World Heritage Site. This national park is probably the best hiking spot on the island. Besides these, tourists can also visit the Ethnographic Park, Jungle Park, Masca, Loro Parque, Garachico and Los Gigantes, among others. For exploring this island comfortably, tourists just have to book a travel package from MakeMyTrip.
