The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, so we learned many interesting facts from him. During one of the indoor automated presentations, the sound became sratchy and inaudible for a few minutes. A pity, because we missed some information.
Tenerife's volcanic landscapes and history are the focus of this tour, which is a perfect pick if you want to add a dash of the outdoors to your holiday to the Canary Islands. You'll head into the San Blas Environmental Reserve, a 500,000-square-metre area that showcases the island's volcanic past in all its glory. Arturo, one of the guides at the reserve, says "I'm always amazed by how people are impressed by what they discover inside the reserve and by how many generations have lived here. San Blas is a perfect example of heritage conservation that reminds us of the importance of preserving and protecting our legacy for future generations."
You'll be picked up from your accommodation and taken to the park, where you'll kick things off with a quick museum visit. Here, you'll learn how the island was formed millions of years ago, as well as get a glimpse into some of the native flora and fauna found around here. When you're finished checking out the exhibits, you'll then follow your guide around a two-kilometre-long trail that cuts its way through the volcanic landscapes.
To end your visit, you'll turn your attention towards the reserve's underground tunnels. They're decked out with exhibits and video presentations that tell you everything you could want to know about the area. You'll follow your guide around the passageways, and they'll tell you how they were formed by lava flows. When you're done here, you'll leave the reserve and head back to your accommodation.
