The Playa de las Américas resort on the island of Tenerife (Spain) is famous for its abundance and variety of entertainment. There are two water parks equipped with ultra-modern attractions. For example, in "Aqualand" you can ride extreme slides or send kids to the children's area with safe rides. There is also a family area, a recreational part for relaxation, a dolphinarium, where interesting programs with mammals are shown. In the second, Siam Park, a whole artificial river has been created, the length of which reaches 1 km. The complex also includes a large swimming pool with artificial ocean waves, sandy beaches, an aquarium inhabited by sea lions, as well as countless different attractions.
Along with classic entertainment, the resort offers guests a visit to its picturesque natural areas. For example, in Playa de las Américas there is a park of the same name, where you can walk through the real jungle. In addition to flora, you can see eagles, flamingos, parrots, orangutans, gibbons, lions, leopards, penguins, crocodiles in the park, which are kept in special spacious enclosures. Various shows are held in the park with the participation of animals and birds. The visit is available daily. The official park of the complex sells tickets that include a visit to the park itself, as well as one of the aquariums listed above.
Among the untouched natural corners that Tenerife is rich in, it is worth noting the Teide Volcano National Park, the Guimar Pyramids, the Sheer Gorge Cliffs, the Puerto de la Cruz Botanical Garden. And, of course, the coast of the resort will delight travelers with real exoticism, where the snow-white coast is abruptly replaced by beaches with black sand, and endless expanses - cozy bays where you can hide from a large number of tourists.
The beaches of Playa de las America form a single complex with the resorts of Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos. The total length of the coastline is approximately 8 km. All beaches in the south of Tenerife are clean and well maintained. Travelers will be pleased with the fact that access to the beaches is completely free. You will need to pay only for additional services (for example, rental of sun loungers or water transport).
The main advantage of the local beaches is their protection from strong winds, which delay the mountain ranges that divide Tenerife in two. The weather is always good here, and the calm ocean will delight you with warm waters without strong waves.
The beaches of Playa de la Americas are equipped with everything you need to relax - toilets, changing cabins, bars and restaurants, rental points, rescue posts. Thanks to this, the resort is very popular among young people, as well as young families with small children.
