Only the best
The extra details that make the trip. One more stop. That hidden corner. Only the best stuff makes it in.
It's one pretty village after another on this exclusive tour in the rugged northwest of Tenerife. We'll drop in at a roll call of the island's must-visits. Christian, one of our local experts, says, ‘A guide shows you around the park in Icod de los Vinos and gives you the lowdown on its fascinating dragon tree, which is 20 metres tall.' Santiago del Teide, Masca and a string of scenic viewpoints are also part of the line-up.
You'll journey through Santiago del Teide, a highland village of whitewashed homes, before heading to the ‘lost hamlet' of Masca, one of Tenerife's most eye-catching spots, dramatically perched on a ridge overlooking a valley. After a stop at Baracán viewpoint, it's on to Garachico – often called the ‘prettiest and unluckiest' – with some interesting history. Devastated by a volcanic eruption in 1706 and rebuilt on its lava, it's now famous for natural lava pools, guarded by a volcanic rock castle, where locals and visitors alike come to bathe.
Next up is Icod de Los Vinos, where you'll admire the centuries-old dragon tree during a visit to Drago Park. When it's time to take a break, there's a tasty lunch at Mirador Garachico. Then, there's one final scenic stop at Lomo Molino viewpoint before the journey back to your hotel.
