From a landscape photographer’s perspective, few places offer such a wide variety of opportunities. Join us and discover why Tenerife is a destination that some of the world’s best landscape photographers return to year after year.

From stunning beaches dotted with sea stacks, we’ll make our way through cloud forests up to magnificent mountain ranges with peaks reaching nearly 3,000 meters. On this trip, Foto Magica will show you all this and more.

Among other places, we will visit:

• Bosque de la Mercedes

• Mount Teide and its national park

• Benijo Beach

• Alcalá Beach

• La Tejita

Program

Our daily itineraries will be adjusted based on current weather conditions. We will revisit several of the above destinations at different times and under varying weather conditions. The approximate daily schedule runs from 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM, including time for breakfast, a rest after breakfast, and lunch. Dinner will be scheduled after the final activity of the day. A tentative daily schedule begins with a meeting at 6:30 AM, after which we return to the hotel around 9:00 AM for breakfast and some time to rest. Around 11:00 AM, we head out again and return in time for dinner around 7:30 PM.

We arrive in the early afternoon on March 4 and will be taken to our hotel, Hotel Laguna Nivaria in Santa Cruz, where we’ll be staying; we’ll be out taking photos as early as that first afternoon.
