Overview

In this journey we will be showing you the Eastern Side of our lovely Island.
You will see the old, alternative, magical roads that were used in the old times and were still being used in recent days.
These are roads in places where the old traditions still remain in the daily life of the locals. We will be able to present to you their perspectives as we travel throughout time.

You'll also see amazing views of the central mountains, then later the landscape over the north east coast and valleys of the island.
We will have several attractions where green will be predominant, due to the Laurissilva protected area, but also different colors from the flowers that we will come across during the tour.
This being said, we believe that you will have a wonderful time, you will see distinctive and unique landscapes, you will meet such lovely people and in the end you will have a great story to bring home.

Recommended for four people due to the size of the seats but can go up to a group of six.
