Highlights
  • Mirador de Chipeque - The Orotava Valley stretches out before you like a lush green carpet, inviting tranquility. If clouds wrap the landscape like a soft blanket, look to the sky for the silhouette of Teide, a giant watching over the horizon. Behind it, the Teno Massif rises like an ancient guardian, and La Palma stands out in the distance, like a dream.

  • Centro de Visitantes El Portillo - Drawn by the breathtaking landscape, you arrive at the El Portillo Visitor Centre, unaware of the wealth of natural knowledge awaiting inside. As you explore the centre’s small museum, you’re captivated by the information panels and absorb fascinating facts about the origins of Mount Teide and the unique species that inhabit it. You even get a glimpse inside a volcanic tube! Never before have you been so intrigued by a natural environment. Suddenly, you’re eager to learn everything about this impressive volcano.

  • Teide National Park - Teide National Park is the highest area of ​​the island of Tenerife (in the Canary Islands) and of Spain. Declared a National Park on January 22, 1954, it is the largest and oldest of the national parks in the Canary Islands and the third oldest in Spain. In 2007, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and since that year, it has been considered one of the 12 Treasures of Spain.
    In this area is the Teide volcano (in Guanche and originally, Echeyde or Echeide), which at 3,718 meters, is the highest peak in the Canary Islands, Spain, and any land emerging from the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the third largest volcano in the world from its base on the ocean floor, only surpassed by Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii. The height of Teide also makes the island of Tenerife the tenth highest island in the world. Next to Teide is the second highest mountain in the Canarian Archipelago, Pico Viejo, at 3,135 meters above sea level, both being the only Canary mountains that exceed 3,000 meters in altitude.
    It is also the most visited national park in Europe and currently the ninth in the world.

  • Los Roques de Garcia - The Roques de García are a stunning testament to the raw power of nature. These towering rock formations, sculpted by millions of years of erosion, stand like sentinels protecting the majestic Teide. Their otherworldly appearance and the dramatic backdrop of the Cañadas del Teide create a truly unforgettable sight. As you gaze upon these geological wonders, you will feel transported to a landscape that seems both ancient and alien.

  • Casa de Los Balcones - Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history and traditions of the Canary Islands at Casa de los Balcones. This 17th-century mansion, completed in 1632, is a testament to the region’s architectural heritage and a vibrant centre of traditional crafts.
    The house features a stunning courtyard, typical of Canarian architecture, with a large wooden balconied façade stretching across two floors. Lush tropical plants create an oasis of serenity in the middle of the bustling town of La Orotava.

  • Jardines Victoria - Step into a romantic paradise at the Victoria Gardens. Designed by French artist Adolph Coquet in the 19th century, these gardens offer a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. The terraced layout, cascading fountains, and vibrant flowers create a truly enchanting atmosphere. Enjoy stunning views of La Orotava from the upper terraces and immerse yourself in the rich history of this unique space.

Tiede National Park and Volcano Private Tour - Ah must do tour. What a wonderful, colorful and insightful day. Our guide and driver ( Jonnie ) was almost waiting for us with open and welcoming arms. My initial inquiry to the company was returned promptly ( time difference ) Gloma tours and ( Luis ) informed us with things to do and helped us on what to see. So educational We could have not anticipated the delightful day we had in Tenerife and the volcano. Thank you, Luis and Jonnie Off the cruise ship or visitor, Gloma rocks Chris and Debbie - Arizona - USA

Awesome, impressive and thoroughly enjoyable - Hassan Coca Cola was an awesome guide. His running commentaries and knowledge of the history of the region were entertaining and impressive. He was a delight and showed us every sight we requested. We loved being in the Medina with him for shopping and visiting numerous sites that Tangier has to offer.
