FLIGHTS TO TENERIFE

Tenerife has two airports:

Los Rodeos in the north (TFN), approx. 20 min. from Puerto de la Cruz by car

and

Reina Sofía in the south (TFS), approx. 1 ½ hours from Puerto de la Cruz by car 

Generally there are no regularly scheduled direct flights from the US to Tenerife.  You typically make a connection in Madrid or Barcelona.  To be on the safe side, try to have at least 4 hours to make your connecting flight into Tenerife.  Tenerife flights are often full and if you miss your connection you may have a significant wait to get on another flight.  Also make sure to pack a carry-on bag good for several days in case your luggage is delayed.  TFN is more convenient to Tenerife but if you will be leaving from TFS, usually you can find other attendees with whom to share a ride on the return leg. (Advice from a 3-time attendee)

Tranportation from Airport to Hotel and Return

Make arrangments for transportation from the airport to your hotel by taxi, bus, or rental car on the internet or via your travel agency. An on-line search of "airport transportation Tenerife" will provide a number of possible transportation options.

Transportation from Hotel to Congress and Return

Transportation will be available from the Hotel Botánico and other points in Puerto de la Cruz to the Convention Center. Details will be published shortly before the Congress.

Contact US Organizer Janice Boyd at jboyd46@gmail.com if you have questions.

The 5-Star Hotel Botanico has special rates for participants.  Buses will provide transportation from the Hotel Botanico and other sites to the Convention Center for the Conference.  A miniature train provides regularly scheduled transportation between Plaza Reyes Catolicos (within walking distance of many hotels) and Loro Parque itself.
