Tenerife is a bit like that. 12k feet at the top.


And to a lesser extent, Gomera.

Just by the sea, beaches and small banana plantations. Go slightly inland and up the hills, you're in an arid region. Continue slightly further up, and you get into a lush, verdant forest. All within maybe 20 minutes' drive.

Best part? There's no airport on the island - you have to fly to Tenerife and take a ferry.

To this day, the best tomatoes I've ever had.


Yes, Tenerife is awesome, a different biome almost every few kilometers. I've been there hiking several times, and I always see something new!
