Patea tus montes – activities and adventure

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

Last month I discovered a really good company, which is organizing excursions and sports activities all around the isle of Tenerife. The young and innovative company is called patea tus montes, what means more or less: hike through your mountains. José and his team are offering their service since 1996. Their headquarter is located in La Orotava, in the North of the isle. With patea tus montes you can hike all over the isle. Excursions are offered round Mount Teide National Park, the vulcanic landscape, in the Anaga mountains and Teno and many other interesting places on Tenerife. With the professional guides you get a lot of background information about fauna, flora and geological conditions of the isle.

Sunrise on the top of Mount Teide Excursion

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Hotels, beaches, nature, crowds of tourists, food and clubs. These are the well-known attractions of the Island of Tenerife. Sonnenaufgang

But it does not seem so exotic any more. Volcanoes of Tenerife make this place look so special! Have you ever heard about Mount Teide? This place has hardly been touched by the modern civilization. There are 600 volcanoes on the island of Tenerife and Mount Teide is the highest and most impressive one. It is like a mysterious unknown world. The volcano is sleeping (last eruption in 1909), and the access to danger is what attracts most. The Teide Parque Nacional is a small paradise for those who love nature, hiking or trekking. Nothing can stop you from enjoying the beauty of the virgin place. Even the air smells different. Sonnenuntergang

If you want, you can spend the ...

Masca excursion and boat trip to los Gigantes

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Have you ever dreamt of discovering one of the forgotten cities or lost civilizations in Latin America? Now, you have a chance to discover a mystic place, which is situated closer to you than you could ever think. The Masca Hills

“The Forgotten Village” of Masca on the Isle of Tenerife is set in the north western part of Tenerife, just in the heart of the Teno Mountains. Its extraordinary character is stressed by the fact that until 1991 there were absolutely no roads to get there. Masca is an idyllic place, where the time has simply stopped. It is a must especially for walkers and hikers or those who seek for traditional atmosphere of little tapas bars, tiny churches and cosy huts. You may choose from the wide range boat tours from Masca to Los Gigantes (Cliffs ...

Vilaflor – the highest situated village on Tenerife

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Vilaflor is the highest situated village on Tenerife with 1400 meter above the sea-level. Around 3000 people live in this lovely village that is situated in a wonderful landscape with a lot of wonderful flowers. The climate up in the mountains is very clean and fresh. Thats why the village is very suitable for a sanatorium. Ausblick

Vilaflor is the starting point for several very interesting walking tours to the Paisaje Lunar or the Cañadas. Above the village one can see some very big stone pines. Some of them have a hight of up to 45 meteres. Its really worth a visit. One can also see very interesting stoneformations of vulcanic origin. Kaktus

Even though there is low rainfall in Vilaflor and the surrounding regions, people practice very intensive agriculture. One can see very picturesque terrace fields on both sides along the road ...
