About this experience
We will visit the most representative places in the north of Tenerife.
Our first visit will be to the Teide National Park, home to the highest peak in Spain: the volcano El Teide. Here you can admire the impressive volcanic landscapes of Las Cañadas del Teide.
We will descend to Icod de los Vinos where we will have the opportunity to contemplate the famous Drago Milenario, believed to be more than 800 years old.
You will have free time to have lunch on your own or enjoy the Canarian gastronomy in one of the restaurants we recommend.
The next destination is Garachico. We will stroll through the streets of the old town and discover the natural pools of El Caletón, formed by lava flows, or the Castle of San Miguel, an ancient fortress that defended the town from pirate attacks.
Finally, we will enter the Teno Rural Park until we reach the hamlet of Masca, located between impressive valleys and ravines.
