Caldera de Taburiente National Park

Huge mountain peaks, the impressive caldera, and rare native Canary Pines characterize this stunning national park. The caldera, a large flat valley between steep mountain ranges, and the parks namesake is 10km across. The area was created over 2 million years ago, by a volcanic eruption and severe erosion.

Mornings are typically bright and clear within in the park, but afternoons bring seas of cloud that descend upon the caldera and result in an entirely different vista. The highest mountain face reaches 2000m upwards from the floor of the caldera, making visitors feel unequivocally small no matter the time of day.

Timanfaya National Park

This national parks backdrop is truly otherworldly, and in pictures it might even be mistaken for Mars. Over the course of history, the red and black landscape was formed by the parks resident volcanos who blanketed the area in now solidified lava.

Today, most of the volcanos lay dormant but visitors can still feel the heat of the earth radiating from the ground. So much so, that pouring water onto the ground, in some areas, results in a geyser effect.

Rare flora and fauna have found special ways to thrive in this area, which initially inspired conservationist to advocate for protection of the area. Nasa even found a special interest in this park. They used the barren landscape to help train the Apollo 17 crew.
