What to see
The island is small, and you can’t do without a car here. By car, in between beach vacations, you can drive to the Teide volcano, and on the way back, turn into the Wind Cave. This is a natural cave, which, as scientists say, is more than two tens of thousands of years.
You can get to the town of Guimar, where the pyramids are located. They were also explored by Tour Heyerdahl and claimed that they are similar to the Machu Picchu pyramids in Peru, only smaller. There are 6 of them. Admission to the park will cost adults € 18, children € 5.5. The pyramids operate throughout the year except Christmas Day and December 31st. The price includes the archaeological museum.
On vacation with a child, you can visit an ostrich farm or in the Camel Park, where you will be offered a safari. In general, there are more attractions in the north of the island than in the south. But Tenerife is good because you can reach any of them during the day and return to darkness. Moreover, it gets dark on the island after 21.00.
In the evening in the summer season you can go on an excursion to the castle of San Miguel. This is a modern, medieval-style castle where tourist shows are held. Truly, they are expensive, as they include dinner. For an adult, an excursion will cost 51 €, for a child - 25 €.
