Description
NOT TURISTIC AREA!!!

It's not easy to describe our AMAZING place! :-)
We're actually a good mix between backpackers hostel, rural house, activity centre and community!

Aside from the facilities which are meant for relax, such as the garden with swimming-pool, the BBQ area, the commonal area with Internet access also equipped to watch films in, the communal kitchen, etc. we also organize other activities such as day-trips, sightseeing tours, surf-trips, bike rental, kayak, trekking, canyoning, diving...

Our backpacker is in fact situated in a strategic spot from where to easily visit the northern part of Tenerife.

In short, we want you to think at us like a second home to spend great times at, meet new people and make new friends.
