The Canary Islands make up one truly
awe-inspiring archipelago. Seven islands feature
seven very distinct personalities each boasting
a culture and natural beauty all of its own. Not
only are the islands full of adventure,
excitement and plenty of opportunities for
indulgent relaxation the climate is ideal,
offering sun and delightfully warm temperatures
year-round. The Canary Islands offer something
for every type of holidaymaker. While many may
consider the islands to be overrun with resort
complexes, the reality is that this Atlantic
archipelago is home to some of the most stunning
and staggering natural wonders not only in Spain,
but all of Europe.

Tenerife
  • Tenerife holidays are the stuff of dreams. While
    the island features a variety of amazing
    landscapes, the true natural wonder of Tenerife
    is best experienced in Teide National Park. Home
    to Spains tallest peak, Mount Teide reaches
    towering heights at 12,198 feet above sea level
    and is a truly remarkable landscape.  Panoramas
    from the summit of this behemoth are absolutely
    breathtaking and make this mountain undoubtedly
    worthy of its natural wonder title.

Lanzarote
  • Lanzarote is home to an excessive number of
    idyllic stretches of sand ranging from golden to
    volcanic. While the beaches are indeed
    incredible, the islands most defining natural
    wonder lies in Timanfaya National Park, home to
    Los Montañas del Fuego or The Fire Mountains.
    This mountain range features a red tinted lunar
    like landscape formed as a result of excessive
    volcanic eruptions in the 18th century. The
    eruptions were so powerful that they forever
    altered the islands landscape and transformed it
    over centuries into a veritable ecological
    wonderland, featuring some exceptionally rare
    species of flora and fauna.

5
La Gomera
  • Unlike its volcanic counterparts, La Gomera is
    known for being the greenest of the Canaries. The
    Garajonay National Park lies at the islands core
    and is home to an ancient evergreen forest that
    is indeed a wonder to behold. There is a range of
    different walking and hiking paths that explore
    the canopy floor, with trails designed
    specifically to lead visitors through the massive
    rock formations that punctuate the forest. A
    variety of springs and streams flow through
    Garajonay making it both mysterious and inviting
    in its peaceful appeal. For intrepid adventurers
    looking for wonders that lie slightly off the
    beaten path, La Gomera is an ideal place to
    explore.

Fuerteventura
  • Widely known to be the island with the best
    beaches in all of the Canaries, Fuerteventuras
    coastal landscapes are a wonder worth a wander.
     For the ultimate in Fuerteventuras pristine
    coastal scenes, visit Corralejo Natural Park. The
    Park contains 11km stretches of golden sands that
    hug the coastline and transition into the
    pristine waters of the sea. The parks stunning
    sand dunes are perhaps its most notable natural
    feature as they extend for miles along the coast
    and provide a stunning foreground view with the
    islands volcanoes as the ultimate backdrop.

Gran Canaria
  • Including 6 rural towns, almost half of Gran
    Canaria has been a part of UNESCOs list of World
    Biosphere Reserves since 2005. Its diverse flora
    and fauna, vivid geological attractions of
    volcanic origin, and rich archaeological heritage
    attract over 2 million visitors each year.

La Palma
  • Unlike some of its busier neighboring islands, La
    Palma has remained untouched. As such, it offers
    holiday makers pristine beaches and ancient
    forests, as well as stunning geologic formations.
    Step into the island, and it feels like stepping
    into the world where time ceases to exist as the
    past and the present merge to unite man with
    nature.

9
El Hierro
  • Throughout history, some of the worlds worst
    catastrophes were due to volcanic eruptions. At
    the same time, its also due to a volcanic
    activity that led to the birth of a paradise.
    Once a barren land, El Hierro is now teeming with
    life. Its diverse terrain and ecosystem not only
    includes the landscape but also the sea around
    it. Because of sustainable development programs,
    the island became a UNESCO World Biosphere
    Reserve.
