Itinerary
The tour begins at one of Tenerife's most dramatic natural landmarks. The cliffs of Los Gigantes rise up to 600 metres from the ocean surface, creating a striking backdrop that defines the island's rugged western coastline.
Next, you head to this northern municipality known for its ancient Drago Milenario, a dragon tree estimated to be over a thousand years old. The town also has a long tradition of local wine production that continues to this day.
La Orotava is one of the finest examples of colonial Canarian architecture in the archipelago. Its historic centre features ornate mansions, cobblestone streets, and well-tended gardens that reflect centuries of prosperity.
You will have free time in Puerto de la Cruz to explore independently and enjoy lunch at a venue of your choosing. The city blends a working local community with a well-established visitor culture along its northern coast.
The final stop is Candelaria, a town of deep religious significance in the Canary Islands. The seafront basilica and the statues of the Guanche kings lining the plaza make this a culturally rich conclusion to the day.
