In the far northwest of Tenerife, the Teno massif reveals one of the island’s most authentic and unspoiled landscapes. Here, nature reigns supreme: steep mountains, dizzying ravines, misty forests, and ancient trails come together to create a breathtaking setting.

Garachico charms with its peaceful atmosphere (despite the influx of tourists, especially on weekends!) and its strong identity. It is a village of singular beauty: nestled between the volcanic slopes and the vastness of the ocean, it holds a rich — and tumultuous — history.

Before Tenerife became a popular destination known for its beaches and volcanic landscapes, it was inhabited by a mysterious people : the Guanches. They were the island’s first known inhabitants, probably of North African origin, who settled here several centuries before our era.

The north of Tenerife is home to one of its most fascinating treasures: natural pools formed by lava, shaped by waves, and softened by time. These saltwater pools, known locally as charcos, offer a unique way to swim in nature — close to the ocean, yet safely sheltered from its powerful currents.

Tenerife is an island that stands out as much for the richness of its landscapes as for the variety of its trees, among endemic species, generous fruit trees and spectacular blooms.

The history of wine in Tenerife dates back to the conquest of the island in the 15th century. Spanish and Portuguese settlers introduced vine cultivation, which quickly found ideal conditions on the volcanic slopes of the north.
