Itinerary
Candelaria
Once the pick-ups are finished, you will leave the hotel zone behind, heading for Villa de Candelaria. There you can visit its basilica, inside which is the Virgen de Candelaria (or Virgen Morenita), who is the patron saint of the Canary Islands. You will also be surprised by the imposing bronze statues that commemorate the ancient menceyes (Guanche kings) of Tenerife, and which constitute a national monument.
45 minLa Orotava
The excursion continues to the north of the island, where you will take a walking route through the Historic-Artistic Site of Villa de La Orotava. Its streets full of history and beauty will take you to La Casa de Los Balcones, one of the most representative buildings in La Orotava and a center for embroidery and fretwork of typical Canarian costumes.
1 hGarachico
We will continue with the visit to Garachico, included in 2021 in the list of "MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES IN SPAIN" a town that after being partially destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1706 was later rebuilt. It currently has a rich architectural heritage from the 16th and 17th centuries that is very well preserved, which is why its historic center was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1994. You will have free time to have lunch on your own or enjoy the local cuisine in one of the restaurants that we recommend.
2.5 hValle de Masca
On the way back to the south of the island we will enter the Teno Rural Park to visit the picturesque Masca farmhouse, one of the most beautiful landscapes in Tenerife where nature and one of the best examples of traditional architecture are mixed. from the Canary Islands
