Additional Information

El Rincon, a spectacular region in the town of La Orotava, is amongst the most picturesque areas on the Island of Tenerife. Nestled between the verdant north coast and the Orotava-valley mountains, it presents stunning views of both the Teide volcano and the sea. Thanks to its coastal location, the climate here is milder than the rest of the valley, making it an ideal spot for farming and serene, lengthy strolls.

Adhering to permaculture principles, Banana EcoPlantation boasts an incredibly diverse crop collection. More than 15 different types of aromatic plants are spread across the farm. Additionally, we intersperse our banana trees with oats, allowing us to establish our own ecosystem and achieve 95% self-sustainability.

This is the ideal venture for those particularly interested in gaining a firsthand understanding of sustainable living and the future of farming, all within one of Tenerife’s most enchanting regions.

  • It is recommendable to bring comfortable shoes and a light jacket.
  • Not recomendable for children under 4 years old.

The presentation was very... - The presentation was very interesting. The guide spoke very slowly and comprehensibly. At the end, we were given bananas to try, which were really one of the best I've ever tried. Definitely worth a visit.
