La Victoria de Acentejo Vacation Rental : La Palmita

Hiking: The Anaga Mountains are a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. Situated in the northeast of Tenerife, with their deep gullies and green forests, unique experience both for hikers and nature lovers. For a long time, the idyllic mountain villages could only be reached by caminos. In Las Carboneras you should try the typical goat cheese and table wine. You will be awed during your steady ascent to the Cañadas crater lip’s highest point, which lies at 2715 m, as you take in the breathtaking panorama of the national park which fans out from the Pico del Teide (3718 m). This climb is only recommended for experienced hikers who come prepared with the right sort of footwear. The village of Masca lies in the Teno mountain range. “El Barranco de Masca”, this gorge hike is unique on the island of Tenerife. During the walk through the gorge which leads down to the sea you will come across a fascinating range of flora. At the very least you should consider a boat excursion to Los Gigantes.

Diving: With its water temperature which ranges from 17ºC to 24ºC and its pleasant climate all year round Tenerife offers some exceptional dives. There are two worlds under the water – the Atlantic and the Tropical. The diving grounds lie at a depth of between 10 and 40 m. You should take time out to explore the underwater world. Since visibility often exceeds 30 m in the Atlantic Ocean, even snorkellers will be enthused. Diving is concentrated around the west and south coasts of Tenerife, as the Atlantic here is much calmer. Barracudas, groupers and tuna fish can often be found in the waters of Tenerife. If you are lucky you may even come across one of the many varieties of ray fish or even a manta ray. Colourful parrotfish, neon perches, scorpion fish and Atlantic cornet fish can be found everywhere in Tenerife’s unique underwater world. The ATLANTIC Diving base, Hotel MARITIM, Camino El Burgado 1

Horseriding: On the outskirts of Icod de los Vinos at an altitude of 600 meters on the edge of a forest lays Finca Estrella. For casual horse riding lovers from Germany the standard of horse care in south European countries leaves much to be desired. By no means can this be said of Finca Estrella, the riding centre which lies above Icod de los Vinos in the north of Tenerife. With its exemplary standards of horse care it constitutes a small treasure in the region. This can be seen in the two stables, where the horses can move about freely and are treated in a manner that is both humane and appropriate, as well as in the arena and in the other considerate facilities. The Finca grows its own wine, fruit, vegetables and harvests its own biological eggs and honey. A range of scenic horseback rides is offered.
