Tenerife's Areas of Tranquility Believe it or not, there is peace and tranquillity to be found on Tenerife. Away from the calamity of the tourist hustle and bustle, the rest of the Island is a beautiful tranquil, picturesque place. Tenerife is a walker’s paradise. Around Pico del Teide there are precisely marked paths, which lead ramblers through stunning countryside, especially around Chinamada. It’s well worth hiring a car to discover the real Tenerife, and many vantage points have been made into picnic areas, especially for tourists. From these points you can see the lush green northern hills, or the pine covered slopes of the Pico del Teide. Off the beaten track, botanists can enjoy the perennial wild blossoms, and the fields of nasturtiums, hibiscus, marigolds and geraniums. There are well over 1,500 species of plant life on Tenerife, and much of it is unique to the island. Lose yourself in woods of mimosa, jacaranda or rubber trees; find the famous Dragon Tree, reputed to be hundreds of years old. The Giant Bugloss, for example, has striking 6ft red flowers, and are unique to the Canary Islands. Much of the Island has been designated as a National Park, which means that building and tourist restrictions have been put into place, to conserve the wonderful flora and fauna that Tenerife has to offer. If Tenerife is not peaceful enough for you, take a boat trip to La Gomera. Dock in San Sebastian, and head for the west of the island. Here you can find a central mountainous region, which is thickly covered in Canary Laurel forests. Tranquillity at it’s best. It is still possible to find a quiet stretch of coast too. Mercifully the island seems to be pest free, and there are no irritating, troublesome insects or poisonous snakes.
