Pathway of A. v. Humboldt
Along the original pathway of Alex. v. Humboldt through the western Orotava Valley
On small lonely forest tracks and paths favored by Alex. v. Humboldt on his trip to the Teide we stroll to the bright chestnut tree and heath forest of the west Orotava valley. In this mountain district still rove the goatherds and the farmers with their horse-drawn-vehicles onto the fields, to bring on the table the very high valued potatoes as the typical "papas arrugadas". Ongoing we visit a typical cheese factory of the area, where they still know the handicraft of the cheese production.
Here we can taste the famous goat cheese of Tenerife with a glass of Orotova wine.
