The hamlet of Taganana is a unique place in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. You will not find a better place to disconnect and obtain an inner peace that exceeds all your expectations. The sea air impregnates the spirit of positivity and the waves brighten your day with its constant dance. It is a pleasure to dip your feet in the purest volcanic sand of the less frequented beaches in the Canaries. It is an authentic experience that will change the way you see and relate to nature.
Framed in the Anaga Rural Park, kingdom of Beneharo, aborigine ruler of Anaga, our heart fills of joy when entering it. There is a magnetism that goes “in crescendo” as you enter the thick trees and step on the ground covered with green vegetation. Here you will not find any spot severely transformed by the human being, so the virginity of nature in all its element will leave you speechless. You are the mere observer of the daily life cycle of that living forest whose flora and fauna born and dies in it. Life covers all corners: the steep ravines that lead to the beautiful beaches, the small waterfalls and lakes that form when the winter has been generous ... simply, words are not enough to describe this place, you have to feel its intensity in your own skin.
In the hamlets of Anaga we have a clear example of the good management and use of natural resources. Neighbors take advantage of everything that nature offers to improve their life quality. These sets of houses distributed by the Anaga massif date back to the 16th century and are inhabited, respectively, by no more than a hundred people. Thus, we can determine the intimate union of its inhabitants with nature from generation to generation.
As a result, Taganana is home to one of the oldest churches in Tenerife, Nuestra Señora de las Nieves. In addition, as a result of being a fertile land, along the coast is produced the essential raw material for its charming restaurants: papa bonita and vine .
Regarding this, the organization offers you the opportunity to taste the grilled octopus, the crowned as the star dish of the area among the other traditional culinary delicacies.
At the same time, you will have the privilege of being amazed by the singular panoramic view of the beautiful horizon; in which the rocks emerge from the depths of the sea and create unique forms within the water. As if the impression was insufficient, you can wander through this paradise baptized as Benijo beach . You will feel the black sand mold under your feet and feel the sea disconnecting any negative thoughts in your head. Also, if you do not take the perfect picture, you will surely find snapshots of this famous place in any promotional material of the archipelago.
After this stop on the way we will proceed to follow our route. This time we will make a small break to face our fears in ''El Draguillo'' farm, whose access roads give vertigo. If you look down you will see a great precipice not suitable for anyone, so if you dare to take a look, be proud of yourself. Also, These roads are only traveled by the few seven inhabitants of the area. A true experience!
To conclude our tour we go to Santa Cruz by the narrow roads that border the mountains. There we rest from the long excursion on the fabulous white sand beach called Las Teresitas. If you do not like the idea of taking a bath, you can rest in the nearby beach bars and cafes.
This tour is designed so that you receive the most complete attention at all times. You just have to worry about enjoying, we do everything else. Contact us to specify the details!
