Santa Cruz Day Trip from South Tenerife

Santa Cruz is one of Tenerife's most emblematic and historic port cities. For this reason, a day trip to Santa Cruz from the south of Tenerife is the best way to get to know this area that has so much to offer. Throughout the day, you will move around in a comfortable vehicle and an expert local guide will accompany you at each stop to tell you all the relevant information about the area.

The old town of Santa Cruz will surprise you with its well-preserved buildings, such as the colonial church of the Immaculate Conception. You will also have the opportunity to visit its main tourist attractions:

• The Palacio de Carta, which dates back to the 18th century and has baroque and neoclassical elements.
• The Museum of Nature and Man, which is located in the old Civil Hospital and offers many interactive exhibitions.
• The Plaza de España, the most central of the city's many squares.

You will find a great contrast when you reach the Caserío de Taganana, which means "surrounded by mountains" in the language of the ancient Guanche settlers. It is the largest hamlet in the area and was founded in 1501. It is one of the oldest villages in Tenerife.

Las Teresitas Beach, located in the village of San Andrés, will bring a fresh touch to the excursion and will allow you to enjoy breathtaking coastal views.

Finally, you could not finish the excursion without visiting the administrative capital of the island of Tenerife, San Cristóbal de la Laguna. In addition to its administrative function, it is a traditional town known for being 545 metres above sea level.
