What to expect

This exclusive tour explores Tenerife's most dramatic inland areas. You'll venture in an eight-seater minivan through the otherworldly landscapes of Teide National Park, admire the panoramas from countless viewpoints and visit the ridge-top hamlet of Masca. Plus, there's traditional Canarian lunch on the menu, too. Arianne, one of our expert local guides, say, "I love guiding this tour because it's an overdose of nature, focusing on the island's volcanology, from the past to the present."

Your adventure kicks off by heading south into Teide National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – climbing through a dense pine forest. There's a pit stop at Chirche viewpoint, which often overlooks cloud-shrouded terrain below. The scenery around here is still bursting with greenery. But as we journey deeper into the national park, you'll encounter volcanic landscapes that could easily be on the moon, Venus or Mars. Desolate, rock-strewn badlands. A stop at Roques de Garcia allows you to take some pics near these iconic rock formations, with the volcano's cone in the background.

Grab a last look at the lava-scarred landscapes at Poleos viewpoint before dropping into a family-run restaurant for a lunch made from seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Rounding off the day is a visit to Masca – a hard-to-reach hamlet perched on a ridge in a deep volcanic gorge. Enjoy free time to poke around and take in the vistas.

    Carla are driver and team Ivon lovely,could have had one less stop & food earlier.The food wasn't nice or worth the money vegetarian option was awful and omelette so salty served with hot vegetable. One suggestion is a buffet so people can choose there own food.I felt like my meal was a last minute option even though told,if asked by tui staff for maybe what the customer could suggest.Mount Teide was amazing.

    The van was cramped and the microphone did not work, so it was more difficult to hear when sitting in the back. But it was fun anyway.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Wine in the Canary Islands - a sensory experience

Tra degustazioni sui pendii soleggiati in cui vengono prodotti, ti immergerai nella cultura e nella coltivazione dei vini canari in un esclusivo National Geographic Day Tour. Scopri il patrimonio vinicolo, i panorami, gli odori, i sapori, le consistenze e i suoni dell'isola in una cantina a conduzione familiare e degusta quattro annate abbinate a piatti tipici.Prima, a La Casa del Vino, una tenuta del XVII secolo divenuta museo, troverai un bicchiere dello spumante locale e una "rosquette", un dolce delle Canarie. La guida ti racconterà la storia dei viticoltori spagnoli del XVI secolo che piantarono vitigni europei nel fertile terreno vulcanico, catapultando Tenerife sul panorama vinicolo mondiale.Poi ci sarà Bodegas El Lomo. Vedrai il giardino, dove uve rare, quasi estinte in Europa, continuano a prosperare, e sorseggerai del vino, accompagnato da una tapa esclusiva dello chef visionario Jorge Bosch. L'enologo ti illustrerà i profumi e le fasi chiave per svelare l'origine di un vino in un laboratorio di aromi con un'altra tapa esclusiva. Uscirai in terrazza per uno spuntino a tema vendemmia con chicchi di gofio tostati e un formaggio di capra locale, servito con un vino fruttato a macerazione carbonica. Il gran finale risveglia l'udito: in una stanza buia, assaggerai l'ultima annata con tapa e scoprirai come la musica influenza la percezione del vino.È molto più di un semplice tour di degustazione: è un'esperienza personale su come il vino può stimolare i sensi.
