Vilaflor

Perched on a rocky plateau at 1,400m, Vilaflor is Tenerife’s highest village and it’s a scenic spot, encircled by pine-covered mountains, rugged lava  plains  and  fields  of  wildflowers.  Located  in the  foothills  of  the  Teide National Park, Vilaflor makes a popular starting  point  for  hiking  and climbing treks, as well as being famed for its local wineries and vineyards.
Regional highlights include the Paisaje Lunar (lunar landscape), an unearthly lava valley, where unusual  rock  formations  have  been  sculpted  out  of  striking  white  tuff.  Nearby,  the  mineral springs of Fuente Altam, the Sanctuary of the Santo Hermano Pedro and El Pino Gordo (the Fat Pine), the largest tree in the Canary Islands, are also worth a visit.
