We are tourists but also travelers. That defines (in part) who we are. We love discovering special spots and different cultures from ours, but as the Canary Islands there is no place in the world and as such we love to share that each of the 8 islands has to offer. Each one is different. Visit our o BLOG and you will see the amount of information we have about the Islands, especially Tenerife.
It is in Tenerife where we live and for this reason we feel in a position to recommend the activities that are offered on this website. Some are organized by us directly while others are managed by small local companies with which we collaborate. In this way, we promote the island’s economy by helping to promote small tourism businesses.
NOur motivation is that the visitor get to know that other part of the island beyond the sun and the beach,promoting quality services and in harmony with nature. In any case, our company is legally registered as a Tourist Intermediary (I-0003666.1) and with the proper hiking licenses – Active Tourism – issued by the Canary Islands regional government (TA-4-0007773.36) and for stargazing (TA-4-0007773 ).
