What to expect

Dramatic landscapes and rugged, volcanic shores come as standard in Tenerife. But little is said about the rich agriculture the island offers. On this tour, you'll journey through the south for a glimpse into the island's culture and identity. You'll see how locally grown bananas go from farm to table, explore the lofty village of Vilaflor de Chasna and sample local wines. Ivan, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Vilaflor was once called Chasna, but when Captain Pedro de Bracamonte visited, he spotted a beautiful Guanche girl. “Vi la flor de Chasna,” he cried – meaning “I've seen the flower of Chasna” – and thereby coined the new name of the village.'

The dry climate and year-round sunshine make the Canaries a perfect place to grow bananas. This fruit is Tenerife's main export, reducing the carbon footprint by supplying the rest of Spain and beyond. We'll find out more on a tour of a local plantation, where you'll learn all about banana cultivation. There'll also be a chance to taste different varieties, as well as try products made from the bananas.

Next, we'll visit Vilaflor. Perched on the southern slope of Mount Teide volcano, the views down to the coast from 1,400 metres above sea level are wonderful. The village has an almost Alpine feel that differs from the tropical coastline – it has the largest pine forest in the Canaries on its doorstep. After a look around the village, we'll enjoy a tour and a tasting at an award-winning family-owned winery.
