Teide Icod Garachico Masca with guide in Italian

Description

Visiting the more 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 of Icod de los Vinos belongs and which deserves to be respected.

Full description of the activity

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

From Teide National Park we will descend to the village of El Tanque for a lunch break and continue on to Icod de los Vinos, where there is a unique specimen of dragon tree believed to be over 1,000 years old. After saying goodbye to the ancient dragon tree, we descend to the coastal town of Garachico, once the most important port on the island. Garachico stands on a recent lava flow that has 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 gorges overlooking the impressive Los Gigantes cliffs 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.
