Círculo de Amistad XII de Enero: Self-Guided Audio Tours

The world's best zoo (according to TripAdvisor) is waiting to be discovered! Tenerife's Loro Parque is a zoo with a difference, taking its animals' health and happiness just as seriously as it does the spectacular acrobatic displays and interactive exhibitions. See thousands of animals in a beautiful tropical park!

Did you know Tenerife has its own pyramids? Although they're not as mighty as their Egyptian cousins, these manmade mountains are still a sight to behold, and equally shrouded in mystery. Now you can uncover their secrets for yourself, and learn all about their history and excavation in the Ethnographic Park, the museum and exhibition, before exploring the beautiful botanical gardens.

Whether you want white-sand beaches or white-knuckle rides, you'll find it at Siam Park. Grab hold of your mates and take on the Dragon or Kinnaree for exciting tube rides, before you work up the courage to speed down the toboggan-style Singha slide. There's rapids, a huge wave pool, and splash zones the little ones will love. When everyone's tired from the non-stop action, it's time to hop on your transport back to Puerto De La Cruz. It's a day well-spent in Tenerife's thrill-packed park.

There are local plants from the Canary Islands and fauna from as far as New Caledonia, but the star attraction is just how many palm trees there are. Each palm – and there are a lot – has been set amidst a backdrop of its native plant life. Notable are the plants on display from the Caribbean, the most varied in the entire botanic garden. Your trip wouldn't be complete without stopping to see the baobabs, which have bloomed here every year since 2012.

Bliss out in front of the ocean without getting sand all over you! The César Manrique Maritime Park is an extensive swimming pool complex that attracts people looking to relax on the southern coast of Tenerife. Designed by the acclaimed architect César Manrique, it's built in harmony with the nature of the Canary Islands. Laze away the day in a hammock. Unwind in a series of crystalline pools in a volcanic rock setting, restaurants, recreation areas and sports facilities. It's the perfect place to spend the day with the whole family.

Some buildings are alive with history – you can sense it the moment you step inside, and this certainly rings true for Tenerife's La Casa de los Balcones. Take an self-guided tour of this 17th-century manor and see the lifestyles enjoyed by its past residents, which were well-to-do families and military figures. See family heirlooms and antiquities, and soak up the tranquil atmosphere of its inner courtyard with views of intricate wooden balconies that evoke the nostalgia of yesteryear.

Get exclusive entry to the Pyramids of Güímar. The premium access elevates the park visit to a whole new level of fun. You can visit the Expeditions Room, Botanic Route, Exporters Route, Cultural Route, Volcanic Route, Sustainable Garden, Poisonous Garden, and various exhibitions. The park is waiting to share its secrets and surprises. It's not just an entry but a passport to adventure.
