School Geography Trips to Tenerife
A geographical history that’s as explosive as its landscape
An island of rocky shores, volcanic landscapes and pure geographical drama, Tenerife is an adventure playground full of contrasts. You only have to look at the mighty Mount Teide to get a feel for the volcanic forces at work.
Whether you hike to great heights on Mount Teide or venture beneath the surface on a caving expedition, you’ll be able to explore this majestic island, quite literally, from top to bottom. And because almost half of the island is a protected natural area, you’ll see unspoilt landscapes as nature intended.
