And, like a proud ruler, the majestic volcano of Teide, the highest mountain in Spain, dominates the scene. All these highlights of the island are best to discovered in a hire car from TUI Cars.

You are free to drive along narrow winding roads, along steep shorelines, through deep ravines with lush vegetation and into the unique crater landscape of Teide. Look forward to an exciting, varied holiday - in a hire car on Tenerife.

Do not miss out on driving in your hire car to the pearl of villages on Tenerife: The mountain village of Masca in the west of the island. Until well into the 20th century old pastoral paths were the only link between this community and the outside world. In the meantime, there is a narrow, windy mountain road from Masca to Buenavista and Santiago del Teide. Both passes present impressive views of the coast of Tenerife and the island of La Gomera.
Most visitors come to Masca to see how Canarians used to live. The centre of the village is the small plaza near the church. The village, sitting 600 metres above sea level, also features a few restaurants and bars, where local specialities are sold. Among the delicacies best suited as souvenirs for family and friends back home, are, for example, goat's cheese and honey.
But the area around the mountain village has much more to offer. For nature lovers there is a splendid hike along a trail through the spectacular Masca Gorge which takes you from the village high in the Teno Mountains to the sea and offers spectacular views on the way.

If you have chosen your holiday destination in the south of Tenerife, you should definitely drive your hire car to Puerto de la Cruz in the north of the island. A colourful mix of locals and holidaymakers can be found ambling around the Plaza del Charco, the heart of the bustling harbour town. The pedestrian zone, which starts here, invites you to stretch your legs. The Playa Jardin, designed by the famous Canarian artist and architect César Manrique, is a mix of beach and garden and is a great place to chill. Also worth seeing is the famous and unique artificial seawater lake of Lago Martianez.
Combine your tour to the north coast of Tenerife with a visit to the fascinating parrot reserve called Loro Parque. In addition to the extensive collection of parrots, the park boasts aquariums, animal walks, show events and other zoological attractions. The park is owned and run by “local” Germans, who have also set up a conservation foundation that is very active in protecting endangered species of parrots.

A real must on Tenerife is a trip to the heart of the island - to the volcano of Teide. Be it in a hire car from TUI Cars or on a guided tour: you should not miss out on the experience of visiting the unique crater landscape.
At 3,718 m above sea level, Pico del Teide is not only highest peak in the Canary Islands but also the highest mountain in Spain. An area of almost 20,000 hectares around the summit is a national park and a designated UNESOC World Natural Heritage Site.
Already the journey in a cabriolet on the well-paved, winding road offers magnificent panoramic views over the enormous rocky desert of ancient lava flows, volcanoes, pumice fields and bizarre field formations. Numerous viewpoints along the route invite you to stop and enjoy the spectacular vistas. Experienced hikers can also walk the last stretch to the summit (about 170 vertical metres climb). Once at the top and the visibility is good you are in for a simply fantastic and unforgettable 360-degree panoramic view.
