Essenza di Tenerife: Candelaria, La Orotava, Garachico e Masca
Descrizione
Con questo tour potrai conoscere l'essenza di Tenerife in un giorno. Inizieremo la giornata visitando la città costiera di Candelaria, dove si trova la Basilica di Candelaria, uno dei luoghi di culto più importanti di Tenerife. L'escursione continua a La Orotava. Qui esploreremo luoghi pieni di fascino e cultura come La Casa de Los Balcones o Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Continueremo il nostro viaggio a Garachico, una città la cui storia è segnata da un'eruzione vulcanica nel 1706. Cammineremo per il suo centro storico e visiteremo luoghi emblematici come le piscine naturali di El Caletón o il Castillo de San Miguel. Qui avrai del tempo libero per pranzare da solo o assaggiare la cucina delle Canarie in uno dei ristoranti che ti consigliamo. Dopo questa visita entreremo nel Parco Rurale di Teno. Le sue strade tortuose ci porteranno a Masca, un borgo circondato da spettacolari scogliere che conserva la sua tradizionale architettura delle Canarie.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Una volta terminati i prelievi, lascerai la zona alberghiera alle spalle, dirigendoti verso Villa de Candelaria. Lì puoi visitare la sua basilica, all'interno della quale si trova la Virgen de Candelaria (o Virgen Morenita), patrona delle Isole Canarie. Rimarrai sorpreso anche dalle imponenti statue in bronzo che commemorano gli antichi menceyes (re Guanche) di Tenerife e che costituiscono un monumento nazionale.
L'escursione prosegue verso il nord dell'isola, dove farai un percorso a piedi attraverso il sito storico-artistico di Villa de La Orotava. Le sue strade piene di storia e bellezza ti porteranno a La Casa de Los Balcones, uno degli edifici più rappresentativi di La Orotava e un centro di ricamo e traforo di costumi tipici delle Canarie.
Proseguiremo con la visita a Garachico, inserita nel 2021 nell'elenco dei "BORghi PIÙ BELLI DELLA SPAGNA" una cittadina che dopo essere stata parzialmente distrutta da un'eruzione vulcanica nel 1706 è stata successivamente ricostruita. Attualmente possiede un ricco patrimonio architettonico del XVI e XVII secolo molto ben conservato, motivo per cui il suo centro storico è stato dichiarato Bene di Interesse Culturale nel 1994. Avrai tempo libero per pranzare da solo o gustare la cucina locale in uno dei ristoranti che ti consigliamo.
Sulla via del ritorno verso il sud dell'isola entreremo nel Parco Rurale di Teno per visitare la pittoresca fattoria Masca, uno dei paesaggi più belli di Tenerife dove si mescolano natura e uno dei migliori esempi di architettura tradizionale delle Isole Canarie

This was a very enjoyable experience - touring around most of the island visiting some very interesting historical places such as Candelaria and Oratava and seeing some stunning scenery. Our guide gsve us alot of interesting information about the places and Tenerife.
Hello Timothy, thank you very much for your amazing rating and review. We're truly delighted that you enjoyed the tour, and will certainly pass on your words to the guide. We hope to see you soon again for another great tour around Tenerife, so we can show you some more iconic places of this island! 😊
Laura the tour guide and Rico (sp?) the driver were excellent. Laura spoke in English and French and was so fun and knowledgeable and spent pyres between stop offs around the island explaining about the history and geography of the place. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We recommend opting to have a meal at the restaurant they recommend in garachico. We had the best paella I’ve tasted with a view of the ocean. Our favourite Tenerife experience so far.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic day exploring the National Park and the north of the island with us. It is great to know that Laura and Rico made your experience so enjoyable. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to them. Laura will be especially happy to hear that her explanations and energy added so much value to your trip. We are also glad you followed the restaurant recommendation in Garachico. Enjoying a delicious paella with ocean views is definitely a highlight. Thank you for recommending us. We hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable experience in Tenerife. 😊
The trip was cancelled 3 minutes before the coach arrived. Complete waste of our time
Dear Traveler, Due to Storm Therese, an official adverse weather warning was issued which forced us to cancel the excursions on Thursday and Friday. Although the alert had been lifted for Saturday, unfortunately the situation changed unexpectedly and the rain returned during the early hours of Saturday morning. We contacted all customers individually first thing in the morning, as early as possible, taking into account that pick-ups are scheduled at very early hours. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding, as the safety of our customers is always our top priority. Best regards,
I loved the return to the island, as a local I learned much more about tenerife on this excursion and it was the first time I went to masca which is beautiful, thanks especially to the guide Peter, the driver and the Atlantic organization, that it is not easy to manage so many stops in such a short time. Amazing!
¡Hola! Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario tan bonito. Nos alegra enormemente saber que, siendo local, la excursión te permitió descubrir nuevas facetas de Tenerife y disfrutar por primera vez de la belleza de Masca. Nos hace muy felices saber que el esfuerzo por organizar una experiencia completa y bien gestionada fue tan bien recibido. ¡Esperamos verte pronto en otra aventura por la isla! ☺️🏝️
Tour is misrepresented no time to see peoples living residence village or their homes No time to see embroidery art craft it in 9ctabio walk up hill to look at museum facade worthless Tour guide talked all about bananas and their growth nothing about people or culture no Canary island history Guide spoke so fast like on fast forward garbled all the time
This tour is worth every penny. You are taken all over the island and have the opportunity to explore the nothern historic part of Tenerife. Peter (our guide) was humourous and knowledgable. This tour involves lots of walking and some steep inclines so wear comfortable shoes. The views along the way are just spectacular and the winding roads demand a very experienced and patient coach driver like ours. The one drawback was the lunch. We were offered to lunch at a Catalonian restaurant for 15 euros which is very reasonable but I would avoid the chicken! Apart from that, it was an excellent tour and a terrific way to tour Tenerife.
There were only two highlights on this trip. The first was the visit to Mount Tiede. Unfortunately we were only allowed a 30 minute stop, which for those who watched the video in the museum left very little time to explore the area around the Roques de Garcia, which gave wonderful views of the surrounding landscape. The second highlight was the trip from the village of Masca back to the main highway. The views were spectacular and the driver’s skills around the hairpin bends is to be commended. However, the bit in the middle was boring to say the least and the trip was overly long (11 1/2 hours from pick up to return). The commentary was repeated in three different languages which was overly loud and annoyed a lot of people as the speakers were directly over your head. Although the tour guide Ivan did his best, it would have been better for him to have announced where the next destination was, and hand out the history of the destination on a sheet of paper for guests to read at their leisure, and then ask question if necessary.
Hello Richard. Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. It is true that on tours of this type, there is sometimes not enough time to discover 100% of all the places we visit. But it is an efficient way to explore the island, which is quite large, in just one day. Our excursions last approximately 8/9 hours, from pick-up to drop-off at the hotel. This time can be more or less, depending on factors beyond our control, such as traffic. On the other hand, as offered, the tour is a regular shared bus tour with a maximum of 3 languages at all times. Our guides try to make the day as enjoyable as possible by giving quite simple information and explanations of cultural and historical interest throughout the tour. Even so, we hope you enjoyed your stay on the island!
Despite a super friendly and hilarious polyglot guide, I regret the little time spent at each stage. Even when preparing, setting out alone and at a run, it is not possible to see more than the local clichés, and completely impossible to immerse yourself in the places. Good to get a first idea and know where to return while taking your time.
Tout d'abord, merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires. Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que votre expérience avec nous n'a pas répondu à vos attentes. Il est vrai que lors d'excursions de ce type, il n'y a parfois pas assez de temps pour découvrir à 100% tous les endroits que nous visitons. Mais c'est un moyen efficace d'explorer l'île, qui est assez grande, en une seule journée. Nous espérons que vous avez apprécié votre voyage et espérons vous revoir bientôt à Tenerife ! 😊
Alonzo & Julian for the best Tenerife Island and Teide National Park tour. Very nice trip full of informations and interesting fact Thank you 🤗
We're thrilled you enjoyed the Tenerife Island and Teide National Park tour with us! Your appreciation for the informative and interesting trip means a lot. Thank you for choosing Atlántico! 🏞️🌟
Very nice to see all sides of the island. The stops where very short and i would have liked more time to look around, but what we did see whas very divers. The hairpin bends on the way to and from Masca where a very good exciting end of this trip.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed seeing all sides of the island during the tour. We understand your desire for more time at the stops to explore further, and we'll take this into consideration for future improvements. We appreciate your support and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another diverse and exciting adventure in the future!
