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.

Great visit - We really enjoyed the tour. We were the only visitors that morning and appreciated the level of detail the owner of the only ecological banana plantation explained the process and the life cycle of the banana plants!

Very nice tour. Learned a lot! Nice and small-scale, no mass tourism - Super educational! And small-scale, so no mass tourism. We really enjoyed this outing and really learned a lot about the history of why there are so many plantations in Tenerife and about the plant itself.

Fantastic informative visit for the whole family - Fantastic tour of the banana plantation. Our guide was very informative and it was a great experience for all of the family. They were also very accommodating when we had to postpone our visit due to my son being unwell. Would definitely recommend. Beautiful views too

Absolutely worth knowing and instructive! - We found this tour via TripAdvisor. Contact was made via WhatsApp because we wanted to take part in the tour at short notice. It wasn't a problem and we were able to pay in cash on site. The owner himself led the tour and explained some of the secrets of bananas to us. He also described the differences to South American bananas and banana plantations. An absolutely educational event with lots of fun for the children.

Experience in the heart of bananas 🍌 - Very good experience, for only €10, the site offers you a walk in the heart of the banana plantations. Small tasting of local products from the plantation at the end of the walk. Small downside: Not much room to move between the trees.

Learn to understand our friend the Banana - It was a cozy little excursion when you took a guided tour of this organic banana plantation. It looked really organic and it was a cozy little tour we got, and the guide was very nice to listen to. We now understand how the life cycle of the banana works.

Unfortunately could make it due to poor transport choices - Unfortunately we didn’t make it as it is so difficult to access if you don’t know the area. Communication from the organiser was incredible though and I want to thank him for this.
