Ce qui vous attend

The pine forests and coastal cliffs of northern Tenerife give it a natural and rugged look, but it's the volcanic, fertile soil that provides the area with its star attractions. From vineyards and orchards to banana farms and ancient trees, you'll see and taste Tenerife's home-grown highlights on this half-day tour.

First up is Icod de los Vinos, a 16th-century town with a great view of Mount Teide. But even Spain's highest peak can't steal the attention away from the Drago Milenario, a thousand-year-old dragon tree that takes pride of place in the town's botanical gardens. This incredible specimen stands at over 20 metres tall with a canopy that's spread to over 300 main branches. Your guide will explain more about why this native tree is a cultural symbol of the Canaries during your visit. While in Icod de los Vinos, you'll see lines of the town's other treasure growing up and down the hillsides – bananas. Find out all about the island's history of banana farming and taste the freshly harvested fruit, as well as a sweet banana liqueur.

Next, you'll head east to La Orotava, one of the oldest wine regions in the Canaries and right on the edge of Teide National Park. You'll see the traditional town centre with its cobbled streets, wooden balconies and buildings in every shade of yellow and visit the Molino de Gofio, a 17th-century gofio mill that's now a museum. It showcases how toasted flour is produced and used in everything from breakfasts to soups and stews, and you'll get to taste the nutty flavoured Canarian delicacy, too.

    Bitte vormerken, dass bei diesem Ausflug einige Meter zu laufen sind. Festes Schuhwerk wäre ratsam. Die angegebenen Snacks sind etwas gewöhnungsbedürftiges Gefro, ein Glas Wein und eine Banane....Ansonsten sehr informativ und viel Geschichte

    Unser Guide Miguel war sehr kompetent und hat uns die ganze Zeit über viele Informationen gegeben. Es war alles sehr gut organisiert und die Zeit die wir in der Mühle sowie Plantage hatten war ausreichend. Man hatte nicht das Gefühl von A nach B hetzen zu müssen. Einzig das der Ausflug zweisprachig auf Deutsch und Englisch durchgeführt wird kann evrntuell etwas störend sein. Für mich war das aber kein Problem. Alles in allem war es ein sehr kurzweiliger und empfehlenswerter Ausflug.
