Tenerife, the largest of all the seven Canary Islands of Spain, is visited by nearly 5 million tourists from different corners of the world every year. It is famous for its 'Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife' which is held in the capital city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Human settlement on this island can be traced back to the 2nd century BC when it was inhabited by people known as Guanches. It was fully conquered by Spain in the year 1496, although attempts were made much earlier. In the following years, the fields for agriculture were created and the planters cultivated plantains, wine grapes, and cochineal.

One of them is Teide National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site centred on Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. Upon visiting this national park, you'll come across some amazing volcanic landscapes and different varieties of flora and fauna.
