Tamarán Tour: Teide Jeep Safari 
Description
This would be a very good tour, if they hadn't gone for the gimick of using a Jeep type vehicle. No part of the tour was off-road, so it could have been done with a much more comfortable mini-bus rather than having to cram into a cramped jeep (social distancing not possible). After leaving Americas we headed up into the hills, first stopping above the county town of Arona for views back down on the South Western corner of the island, taking in the Banana plantations that used to power the economy and round to the concrete jungle of the tourist towns further up the coast. From Arona we continued climbing up to Vilaflor where there was a coffee stop before we continued climbing up into the massive caldera of the long gone major volcano that today Mount Teide is only remaining part of. We stopped there for photos before continuing along the floor of the caldera and then descending back down (past the site of the previous nights stargazing) before heading over to the town of Tamaimo for lunch. After lunch we resumed climbing into the hills before descening down into a hidden ravine to the town of Masca, only visible to the outside world from the sea by a small gap in the walls of an old volcano's crater. After Masca it was a long, and uncomfortable, journey back to Americas.
