What to expect

  1. Mirador de Garachico
    15m
    We begin the tour with a stop at the Garachico Viewpoint, one of the most spectacular balconies over Tenerife's north coast. You'll have time for a coffee, a quick restroom break, and to take in panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the dramatic cliffs that frame this stretch of coastline — the perfect start to a day exploring the island's most authentic north.
  2. Buenavista del Norte
    30m
    Next, we head into Buenavista del Norte, one of Tenerife's most charming and lesser-known towns. We'll stroll through its peaceful streets, soaking up the authentic atmosphere of a farming town that has kept its traditional character intact, far off the usual tourist routes — a perfect stop for travelers who want to experience the real Tenerife.
  3. Charco Los Chochos
    30m
    We arrive at Playa Sibora, in Los Silos, home to one of the most curious and photographed spots in northern Tenerife: the skeleton of a bowhead whale, displayed by the sea amid striking volcanic rock formations. A one-of-a-kind place where nature and curiosity combine to give you one of the most original snapshots of your trip.
  4. Los Silos
    30m
    We'll visit a genuine banana plantation, where you'll discover firsthand the history and growing process behind one of the Canary Islands' most iconic products. You'll learn why Canarian bananas are so different from the rest and understand just how important this crop is to the islands' economy and identity — a genuine agricultural experience, off the beaten tourist track.
  5. Garachico
    1h 30m
    We finish the route in Garachico, considered one of the most beautiful towns in Tenerife. You'll have free time to wander its cobbled streets, admire its historic architecture, and discover some of its most iconic corners, plus free time to grab lunch on your own before heading back to your accommodation.
