Great Late Holidays For 2010 - Tenerife
The busiest of the summer holiday months are over for another year
, but sometimes the best time to take a holiday in Tenerife isn't July or August, but September or October - especially for those without children of school age who can choose when to take their holidays.A late summer or early autumn visit is good for holidaymakers who appreciate the beaches being less busy than the peak summer months - it's also possible to get the table of your choice at the restaurants, and the service is often better as the restaurant staff are serving less people.
And the weather in Tenerife is astonishingly good for most September and Octobers - usually in the 70's farenheit during the day - good enough for swimming in the sea or an outdoor pool.
But apart from the good weather in Tenerife and less people around, what is Tenerife like for those who haven't been before and might be considering a late holidays in Tenerife?
A visit to Aquapark will be a hit with children. They will especially love Dolphin Lake where the popular dolphin show takes place. The thrill is multiplied with the number of rides and water slides available. Adults too can find a lot to keep them entertained for hours.
For those holidaymakers who enjoy time on the beach, Tenerife has twelve Blue Flag beaches. These serene stretches have been analysed and evaluated for cleanliness and environment friendly operation. Away from the beach, Tenerife offers visitors five national parks for hiking, bicycling and walking. The scenery is unique and gorgeous.
The island features two predominant areas for visitors to enjoy. The southern part of the island offers the warm temperatures and tropical settings. The northern part of the island is smaller and less populated with milder temperatures. Visitors can find high quality man-made beaches around many of the large resorts.
Tourists who wish to enjoy the natural beauty of this tropical paradise won't want to miss Tenerife's world famous Teide National Park (Parque Nacional de las Caadas del Teide), home to Mount Teide's 48 K. circumference volcanic crater. Whatever time of the year you decide to visit it's not just the weather in Tenerife that is a good attraction - Teide National Park boasts gorgeous landscapes and breathtaking mountain views.
Another of Tenerife's natural tourist attractions are the Cliffs of the Giants. These astounding rock walls drop from heights of 500-800 feet almost straight down into the sea. Tourists can soak in the sights from one of the restaurants and other viewpoints located across the small bay in the resort town of Los Gigantes. They may opt for an up-close and personal look at the massive rock faces by taking a tour boat across the bay.
History and archeology buffs will appreciate the Pyramids at Guimar. Archaeologists first dismissed their discovery as mere stone terraces similar to others across the Canary Islands. It has since been proved that the pyramids were authentic ancient structures akin in design and craftsmanship to those in places like Peru and ancient Mesopotamia. The pyramids now attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year to marvel at their expert construction.
History, water parks, the weather in Tenerife, the beaches, shopping or nightlife...whatever the reason an autumn visit to Tenerife could be just the tonic before facing up to the cold long winter nights.
