Regarding this, Loro Parque offers you the opportunity to observe the day to day of some animals and even its breeding.
The adventure within the park is permanent due to the wide range of activities it offers.

Tenerife is not just a natural palace, but it also has leisure parks, such as the best water park in the world by TripAdvisor from 2014 to the present, and the first zoo in Europe that allows animals to feel in their natural habitat: the wonderful Siam Park and the legendary Loro Parque.
The visit to one or both parks of the Kiessling family, the owners, is guaranteed on any excursion through Tenerife. In this case, we will go into detail with the most intrepid of the two. The Siam Park opened its doors in 2008 and since then, it has not stopped welcoming tourists from all over the world. It is the best water park in Europe, and there is no doubt about it, since its thrilling attractions will make you spend a day full of fun with your friends or family. In addition, it also has a rich architectural history from ancient Thailand, which causes the illusion of being away in a beach resort.
However, the creation of Siam Park was not at all simple. Behind this impressive touristic destination, there was great work made by the owners. They had to ask Thailand for permission to use the architectural motifs of their culture in order to include them into the water park. Also, its name had to be approved by the Royal Thai House, and on the day of its inauguration, on September 15th of 2008, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn made an appearance on behalf of her country. In this way, four years of construction gave rise to the most modern and largest water park in Europe, a real kingdom in which you can feel the adrenaline rushing through your veins.
The Loro Parque company offers you the opportunity of buying a Twin Ticket, which lets you enjoy both parks, Loro Parque and Siam Park for a better price. This type of access does not do anything but fill your way through Tenerife. Its use is incredibly comfortable, since you only have to show your Twin Ticket at the entrance of the first park you visit. With this, instead of worrying about cash or credit cards, the staff will give you the ticket to the other park. Then, you will have two weeks to visit and get the most out of your Twin Ticket.
In the Siam Park you can enjoy fifteen spectacular water attractions, including the largest artificial wave in the world with four meters high. During your visit you will be welcomed by the holiday spirit at all times thanks to the heat of the south of the island, the cloudless sky and the possibility of eating in restaurants-bars. Those near the beach serve international food, but if you want to taste the best Thai dishes, your place is Thai House.
The most striking attraction is the Tower of Power, crowned as the park's star slide with its 28 meters high. With a steep inclination you will fall at the speed of light, entering the inside of an aquarium full of fish and even sharks. It is an attraction made for risk lovers, because the chills will get you just by seeing the height of the launch platform.
Finally, we recommend you go in the opening time so you do not go in a hurry. The park has many attractions and there is no time to waste. We also want to remind you that sun protection is essential to take care of your skin, so applying cream once is not enough. Have in mind that you will be continually in contact with water.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tenerife. If you need more information about the Twin Ticket or you have any more questions, please contact us.

Undoubtedly, it is a peculiar excursion in which you will have the opportunity to inquire about the world of dolls and see how it has been betting for more quality and creativity over time.
This museum was inaugurated in Tenerife in 2012 by the Taupe family, owners of ARTlandya in its original location, Austria since 1993.

An island as unique as Tenerife has to host an equally unique attraction. This is the Butterfly Park of Icod de los Vinos: a small gem where you can witness the life cycle of the most beautiful butterflies in the world.
The uniqueness of this site makes it a true sanctuary in which hundreds of species from the tropical areas of the planet inhabit. Some of its so special characteristics are the strict control of the humidity and temperature conditions inside the butterfly garden to avoid the alterations in the daily life of these delicate specimens; as also the existence and care of the suitable plants for its reproduction and feeding play a decisive role, because each butterfly has a preferred variety where to deposit its eggs or a favorite nectar to drink from. As a result, entering the glass dome of the main garden means transporting you to a distant jungle place where a variety of small insects coexist helping to maintain the ecosystem created there.
But what is the origin of this wonderful place? The incubator. In the Butterfly Park, every few minutes a new creature is born. The pupae brought from different countries carry out the metamorphosis, eventually becoming the spectacular butterflies. Thus, you will see true works of art imbued in the wings of these beings that will leave you impressed by their ranges of colors and patterns that Mother Nature has designed. Maybe you'll be lucky and some will settle on you, being able to see them at a privileged distance. However, you must bear in mind that these become less sociable on bad weather days, hiding in any corner. We recommend you to be patient and not give up on your search.
Meanwhile, to know all the ins and outs about the life of the butterflies it is essential to make a short stop to see the interesting documentary that the center offers you. You will spend a pleasant time watching in live what is shown in the video. And of course, before you leave do not forget to take a photograph with the original wings placed at your disposal at the entrance of the center to bring home a peculiar memory of your visit to the Butterfly Park of Icod de los Vinos.
From Alexandra Tour we will make of your visit the most comfortable experience with the most personalized service. Also, if you want to take full advantage of the day, you can hire this tour in combination with others we carry out in the north of the island. Write or call us to specify the details and start organizing the vacation you deserve.
The south of Tenerife is very famous for its good weather, long beaches and the endless activities in nature that can be done both on the coast and in the mountains. Among all those outdoor experiences, one stands out for its more cultural character: the visit to the ethnographic park and botanical garden, Pirámides de Güímar.
This place is built around a complex of ancient stone pyramids whose construction motif is still unknown. In 1990 the Norwegian researcher, Thor Heyerdahl, became interested in these unique structures moving to the island to get to know them more closely. After being amazed with them, he formulated several theories that relate them to the Mayan and Egyptian pyramids. However, its origin has always generated a great controversy among the different experts in the field. In the auditorium of the park you can watch an interesting documentary on this subject that does not lack intrigue.
The facilities also have a museum located in a traditional Canarian house of the 19th century. Inside, cultures from both sides of the Atlantic come together, highlighting the importance of the Canary Islands as a key point of trade and human migration for centuries. Thus we can find a collection of representations of the South American and North African culture, like sculptures of deities and engravings in stone. You will be surprised by the large reed boats that will take you to simpler times, in distant lands. There is no doubt that this is a space to enjoy the cunning of the human being. Therefore, you will not cease to be amazed by the exhibition of photographs that covers all the civilizations that have constructed stepped pyramids and the meaning of these for each culture. Also outside the museum, you will have the opportunity to explore even more the mystery of Easter Island in an exhibition dedicated entirely to the survival of its inhabitants in the middle of the Pacific. As you can see, you will not leave without learning something new!
However, the itinerary does not end with the visit of the pyramids and the museum. The whole complex is surrounded by an orderly vegetation that makes up the Botanical Garden. You will discover for yourself more than twenty thousand square meters packed with endemic and exotic species. There, you can see examples of traditional export products of the islands: sugar cane, wine, cochineal, banana and tomatoes. As well as endemic species among which are the magnificent Canarian pine, the traditional palm tree or the impressive dragon tree. In route you will know not only the plant but its relation with the volcanic environment and its importance in the island’s culture. On the other hand, among its most exotic specimens we find the new Poisonous Garden, where you will learn the dangerousness of the species that behind their striking colors hide the most deadly poisons. In addition, if you are a true lover of botany you can buy a pass to the Tropicarium, a greenhouse of orchids and carnivorous plants of great scientific interest. There we can observe the curious adaptation of these foreign species to the Canary climate and soil. This area of the park is so delicate that you will have to enter accompanied by a park guide during visiting hours.
To finish, or take a break in the middle of the route, we recommend you go to the leisure area where a cafeteria with pleasant views of the complex awaits you. This is the perfect place to have a snack and rest for a while. For children, there is a playground and to complete the visit, a bazaar where you can buy traditional Canarian products.
If you want to spend a different day on your holidays, Pirámides de Güímar is the best option. With Alexandra Tour, the trip will be very smooth thanks to our comfortable minibuses and the kindness of our staff. Undoubtedly, choosing us is also the best alternative during your stay in Tenerife. Contact us to organize this and other excursions!
The island of Tenerife has counts with many tourist attractions, however, when you hear its name, probably the first thing that comes to your mind is the Teide National Park. But how to enjoy fully your holidays? If observing the great volcano its skirts seems insufficient for you, you are the perfect type of person to ascend through it in the cableway. You will take a wonderful experience home, so do not think hesitate much. You will enjoy!
The Teide, at 3718 meters, is the highest peak in Spain and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the main symbol of Tenerife for its overwhelming majesty. Because of this, the islanders also know him as Father Teide. However, it did not always have positive connotations, since in its origin, the aborigines called "Echeyde" as a sacred site in whose depths resided the evil forces embodied in Guayota.
Throughout history, both the Canarian Archipelago as a whole and the Teide have served as inspiration for great intellectuals of international fame such as Emily Dickinson, Jules Verne and Agatha Christie, among many others. Even Shakespeare delighted his characters with Malvasia wine in various plays.
Nowadays, the Teide is an active volcano which there is not much information about because in its last eruption in 1909 there were not the necessary instruments to carry out exhaustive investigations. In spite of this, it is studied daily like any volcanological structure of the Canary Islands. In our case, we give you the opportunity to know everything about its exterior. After climbing the national park, you only have to go to the cableway station to start your adventure. The two alternatives that are offered are to ascend walking or to raise in cableway. However, if you are in a hurry, we do not recommend doing the path, as it is a long journey.
In the lower station you will have a bar and a buffet to recover your energy; and in the highest one, on the other hand, you will have a rich vision of the island led by the impressive presence of the rest of Tenerife and even the entire archipelago, seen on clear days without haze.
As the cableway climbs high, you will not be able to detach yourself from the crystals before the illusion of discovering new details in the surrounding landscape. You will be amazed by the authenticity and beauty in front of you.
But if you prefer to live the experience to the fullest, you can ascend on foot after the cableway climb up to the crater itself and, therefore, to the highest peak in Spain. Following the "Telesforo Bravo" route, you will connect with nature in an inexplicable way. You will confuse the reason for the fast beating of your heart, between amazement or lack of oxygen. But do not worry, it will be worth it to crown such a mountain!
The Teide cableway schedules are from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. If you need more information or have any questions, contact us. We are at your service at all times!
