Teide Icod Garachico Masca with English guide

Description

Visit the most rural and authentic side of Tenerife

“A day in the life of a Tree”.

Take a break from the modern world and immerse yourself in the most authentic side of Tenerife. During the tour, you will experience a unique combination of natural wonders, small rural villages, exotic plants and volcanic landscapes.

Away from the bustling south of the island, you will have the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the modern world. Experience a sense of tranquillity that seems to come from a distant past. A distant past to which the mighty thousand-year-old dragon tree of Icod de los Vinos belongs, and which deserves to be respected.

Full description of the activity

The excursion starts with hotel pick-up in the morning, on the day chosen at the time of booking. After picking up all the participants, the bus will head towards the Teide National Park so you can admire pine forests, lava formations and volcanic craters typical of Tenerife.

From the Teide National Park, you will descend to the village of El Tanque for a lunch break and continue to Icod de los Vinos, home to a unique specimen of the dragon tree that is believed to be over 1000 years old. After greeting the ancient dragon tree, you will descend to the coastal town of Garachico, once the most important port on the island. Garachico sits on a recent lava flow that formed spectacular natural pools with crystal clear waters.

The tour continues with a stop in Masca, a small village nestled between steep volcanic peaks and ravines overlooking the imposing cliffs of Los Gigantes, on the northwestern tip of the island. Masca offers cultural value, unique photographic opportunities and rich biodiversity. A truly remarkable excursion for all lovers of rural life.
