Search flights from SPC to TFN
Cumbre Vieja
Views of the southern volcanic ridge of La Palma, including areas affected by recent volcanic activity.
Mount Teide
Unrivaled views of Spain's highest peak rising 3,715 meters above the sea, often piercing through the clouds.
La Orotava Valley
A vast, lush green valley stretching from the base of Teide down to the Atlantic coast.
La Laguna
The UNESCO World Heritage city appears just before landing, showcasing its historic grid layout.
The right side is the definitive choice for seeing Mount Teide. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the volcano from the east. Ensure you choose a seat forward or aft of the wing, as the flight is short and low, making ground visibility crucial.

Dramatic, ancient laurel forest-covered peaks visible during the final approach into Tenerife North.
