The sun-drenched Canary Islands lie close to North Africa and have an exotic flavor of their own. Hundreds of volcanoes, rolling sand dunes, rich forests and rugged cliffs dapple these seven Atlantic gems. Catch a ferry to Lanzarote. Ride a camel through volcanic Timanfaya National Park. Take on Tenerife, home of Mount Teide, Spain's tallest peak. Romp Grand Canary's beaches or hike La Gomera's Garajonay National Park.

The visit to Fincas Las Margaritas truly exceeeded our expectations. We arrived at 11 and we went throught the self-guide tour. Mid-way, one of the workers in the farm indicated to us that shall we give her few minutes to finish her explanation to a small group she was talking to she will be able to assist us. The lady was incredible, very insightful and you could really tell that she loved sharing her knowledge. We were also impressed with all the languages she could speak: French, English, portugueses and obviously Spanish. I am a French , Spanish and English speaker and given that my husband only speaks Polish and English we opted for English. She explained to us the fact that bananas actually come from an herb, how the banana grow. The exchange was not limited to how bananas grow , she shared few anecdotes from her grand-father who used to gro bananas and about the culture of canarian people. It was a truly enjoyable conversation that made the visit truly memorable. We got also a sense of the philosophy of the Fincas they truly care about growing quality bananas. We culd go within the fields explore, they were also panels with information in many languages . At the end of the visit we got a degustation of gofia a canrian speciality, canarian white whine and mojo. All was delicious and available to buy. The gentleman was very kind and gave us few bananas. Few things to note : you can pay for the entrance and for the goods by card which was a nice surprise. Also we really like the food so we asked if it is possible to come just to go to the small shop and the gentleman told us you only pay for the 1st visit so we could come back any time. It was very educational visit, we truly learnt something and the people really made it special. Volveremos!

Finca Canarias is located in La Gomera in the area of Hermigua, on the northwest of the island. The 8.000 aloe vera plants are arranged within a field of 10.000 square metres located next to the Barranco de Monteforte. The farm is located just 8km from the National Park of Garajonay (Parque Nacional de Garajonay), a natural monument of almost 4.000 hectare (9.884 acres) recognized for being one of the largest laurel forest. Finca Canarias Aloe Vera is a small family business. We have been dedicated to the ecological cultivation for two generations. The variety that we grow is known as Aloe Barbadensis Miller, commonly referred to as “Aloe Vera”. At our plantation we offer a guided tour, so you will be able to feel and touch the plants.

We visited during our day trip to La Gomera. So glad that we did. Didier explained in detail all about this amazing plant and it’s very many benefits. He demonstrated a short harvest of the plant too. We were offered a small taste of it too and it was quite palatable. There was a small shop should you want to buy any products. We bought some and I’m currently a 1/4 of the way through a bottle of ‘Face Milk’ which I love. There’s no ‘hard sell’ here, just advice on the health and beauty benefits from this amazing plant. We weren’t disappointed and I’m sure you won’t be either.

Passing by Finca Canarias we were attracted by its ecological plantation so that the day after we stopped by. Despite covid, it was open and still offering visits to (the few) visitors. Elisa immediately welcomed us and led us to a super interesting visit through the outside aloe vera fields, explaning all the details about aloe cultivation as well as other typical plants and flowers of Tenerife. She also showed us a beautiful greenhouse replicating the diversity of plants growing in Tenerife, including ananas plants (never seen before!), banana plants and many others. We then assisted to the process of extracting the juice from aloe vera leaves and and we tried it directly on our skin!! We learnt so many interesting aspects about this extraordinary plant and its plantation! They also have a super well furnished shop where they sell their orgànic products. I find them just great, so their quality is totally worth the price! Also, thanks to our purchase, we had two products as gifts - which was much appreciated :) Elisa really took the time to explain the details of every product we asked her about and guided us with much care. Even if there were 2 other customers she made sure she was done with us before moving on to them. Besides, she is really nice and friendly! Overall, better not to leave Tenerife without having stopped by!

Lovely afternoon visit to this beautiful and friendly place. We were welcomed and given food to feed the animals. All the animals were so friendly (especially the cat who my grandson loved). There is a park opposite the restaurant so kids can play while adults enjoy a drink or something to eat. The owners were so genuine and friendly I can’t recommend this place enough.

At first when I saw this signposted I was a bit ambivalent. What could be so interesting about a banana plantation? Well, to answer that question in short; "All of it"'. It's so much more than just a plantation. It shows the visitor a symbiotic self-sustaining eco-system. A different, so much better kind of farming. If only the rest of agriculture would make some progress in this direction. Besides a nice walk in a mesmerising scenery, you can expect an informative (and funny) tour by the owner of the plantation. A man with a mission and a clear message to the world. I'm very much aware €20,- seems a bit steep as an entrance fee. But I can assure you it's definitely worth it. Just don't look at it as a fee, but as a donation towards a good cause. You'll understand why ;)
