On the volcano side
 

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.
