Highlights
One day to see the most authentic Tenerife: the Teide volcano, the Thousand-Year-Old Drago of Icod, the colonial town of Garachico, and the hidden ravines of Masca. On the same day, four landscapes that seem from another planet, from the volcanic heights of the Cañadas to the ravines of Masca, passing through towns with centuries of history. It is the perfect option if you want to know the essentials of the island in a single trip, without needing a rental car: we pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation, and throughout the tour you will have a tour guide who will tell you anecdotes and stories of each place. In Garachico you will have free time to walk around and eat on your own, and we will end the day in Masca, one of the most spectacular corners of Tenerife. Ideal for couples and families on their first visit to the island, or for those who prefer a relaxed pace without driving.

Itinerary
We start by picking you up at your pickup point and ascend towards Teide National Park, making a brief photo stop in Vilaflor, the highest town in Spain, before entering the Cañadas. There you can contemplate the volcanic landscape and the peak of Teide from several viewpoints (this route does not include time for the cable car ride).
We went down to the Villa of Icod de los Vinos to see the Dragon Tree, one of the oldest and most emblematic trees in the Canary Islands, with over a thousand years of history. You will have free time to see it up close and take photos next to this island symbol.
We continue along the north coast to the town of Garachico, an old fishing village rebuilt after the volcanic eruption of 1706. You will walk through its cobbled streets, its fortress facing the sea, and its natural volcanic pools, with free time to have lunch on your own (food not included in the price).
We close the route in the village of Masca, hidden between deep ravines and considered one of the most spectacular corners of Tenerife. Time to admire the landscape and native vegetation, and take the last photos before returning to your accommodation.

About Tenerife
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, dominated by Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, with black-sand beaches, banana groves and laurel forests.
Tenerife rises from the Atlantic to the 3,715-metre summit of Mount Teide, a volcano whose national park of lava fields, strange rock formations and vast craters is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A cable car climbs most of the way up. The air is so clear that the island hosts astronomical observatories, and stargazing is a pastime in its own right.
Top-ranked sights in Tenerife: Teide National Park (Parque Nacional del Teide), Mt. Teide (El Teide), Masca Valley.
