Ethnographic Park & Leisure

Here you sleep inside the park, not next to it.

One of the most beautiful rustic spots in the municipality of La Orotava: seventeen thousand square metres at the foot of Mount Teide given over to an ethnographic and leisure park. A real park, not a stage set — it still keeps the century-old traditional wine press, the hay barn that was once a home, the threshing floor, the old stone washing troughs, the carved wooden trough, the hand water pump and the petanque court.

Thirty years of replanting, one plant at a time, with native Canary Island flora and trees have turned the estate into a spectacular garden with views of the valley's peaks. Complete peace deep in nature, close to the best hiking trails of the Teide National Park. The rural houses are scattered across all of it: you don't visit the park, you sleep in it.

Shared pool

Frequently asked questions

What people usually ask us.

Where exactly is Hacienda Verde?

At Cmno. Bebedero alto 58, La Orotava, in the north of Tenerife — at the foot of Mount Teide and 15 minutes from Puerto de la Cruz. It's a 17,000 m² rural estate, not a hotel: each house is independent within the park.

How far is it from Mount Teide and Las Cañadas?

Between 20 and 30 minutes by car. Some of the best trails in Teide National Park —Roques de García, Pico Viejo, Chinyero— start right there. When you get back from the trail, the pool is waiting.

How do I book if I can't see the price on the website?

The rate depends on the season and the number of nights. Write to Jose Martin, the host, on WhatsApp or by phone (+34 646 207 289) and he'll confirm availability and price the same day. You can also book on Booking (8.7/10).

Can I walk through the ethnographic park during my stay?

Yes. The 17,000 m² garden and the seven ethnographic features —the century-old wine press, the threshing floor, the stone washing troughs, the hay barn— can be explored freely, with no opening hours or tickets. If you're into the history, Jose shows them to you.

Are the houses independent?

Completely. Each house has its own entrance, kitchen and garden, about 50 metres apart and surrounded by trees. The only shared space is the pool, in the centre of the estate.

How many people can stay?

Each house sleeps up to 4 guests. For groups, large families or events you can book the whole estate: the houses sleep 16-20 people and the gardens host celebrations of up to 80 guests.

Do you allow pets? Can I smoke?

Pets are not allowed and smoking is not permitted inside the houses. On the terraces and in the garden, yes. There is free parking within the estate.
