Tenerife's natural identity brings together landscape, biodiversity and ways of inhabiting a fragile island territory.
A vertical island: Atlantic shoreline, volcanic summits and historic towns connected by old pathways.
Among its main reference points are Teide and sacred landscape, Historic La Laguna, Port and mobility, which connect landscape, memory and everyday life. Island nature is best understood as a relationship between ecosystems and human uses, not as scenery separated from history.
Key points
Parque Nacional del Teide
El espacio protegido mas visitado de Europa y Patrimonio Mundial UNESCO, con ecosistemas de alta montana de enorme singularidad biogeografica.
Laurisilva de Anaga
Los bosques de laurisilva de Anaga son de los mejor conservados de Canarias y Europa, refugio de especies endemicas en un entorno de barrancos profundos.
Diversidad de pisos ecologicos
Tenerife concentra en pocos kilometros transiciones desde cardonal costero hasta alta montana volcanica, pasando por pinar, monteverde y fayal-brezal.
Chinyero y volcanismo historico
La erupcion del Chinyero en 1909 fue la ultima erupcion historica en Tenerife, recordatorio de un volcanismo activo que ha modelado la isla durante milenios.
Corona Forestal
El gran cinturon de pinar que rodea el Teide separa las vertientes y actua como esponja hidrologica fundamental para los acuiferos insulares.
