Sightseeing tour of Tenerife

Leaving the hotel, we head to the west coast of the island. Our route will run along the mountain serpentine, crossing various climatic zones until we reach the small settlement of Santiago del Teide. It was this town that witnessed the last volcanic eruption in Tenerife in 1909, and since we will be in this area, we will definitely visit one of the most popular observation decks of the island with a view of the unique, in its beauty, Mask Gorge. Next we will visit Garachico – one of the most colorful and charming towns of the island, the sights of which are amazingly preserved after the eruption of the Trebejo volcano in 1706. Despite the fact that part of the town was buried under lava, its historic center and old narrow streets still please tourists.

Tours in Tenerife can not be imagined without a thousand-year-old tree, which has become a symbol of the island. This unique dracaena grows in the city of Icod de los Vinos, here travelers will have the opportunity to taste the best wines and cheeses of local production. The next point on our excursion map, after such a long journey, will be lunch in the once functioning monastery. In it you will find a restaurant for every taste: from fish to meat.

After lunch, we will continue our journey and soon find ourselves in the architectural jewel of the island - La Orotava, we seem to be transported back in time to several centuries in the time of the conquistadors and feudal lords. Well, the final point of our excursion will be Candelaria, this place includes in its program every guide in the Canary Islands, as a must-see, because it is a pilgrimage center in the archipelago. In the center of the village there is a square with statues of the nine kings of Guanches, as if guarding the cathedral, which stores the main shrine of the archipelago - the statue of the dark Virgin of Kandelja.
