Details

  Description

  Located in the north west on Tenerife (Los Silos), our finca and food forest is surrounded by stunning cliffs, wild nature and sea view. It's one of the greenest places on the island and feels super remote, even the village Los Silos is just 15min walk. It's the best place to take a short break from busy life and delve into substainable and nature living.
  
  We just arrived on the island and make that place to our new home. At the moment we building up infrastructure to host people and starting to reform the place and taking care of all the trees out there.
  
  We are committed to sustainable living and organic farming, growing a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs using permaculture principles and want to make that place even more green and divers.
  W
  e have plenty of Avocado trees, which give avocado all year around, mango trees, starfruit, strawberry-guava, kaki and a lot of other trees. All fruits and products grown on the land are for our own personal use only. We do not sell any produce and the finca is entirely non-commercial.
  
  We have two super sweet cats which are always asking to cuddle.

  Accommodation

  For now we have two big big tents with headroom (3m high/14qm) for our volunteers and friends. They are super cozy, having real beds (good matresses and slatted frame) and provide space even for a whole family. You are sattled in the nature, with trees and singing birds around you.
  Depends on the works which need to be done and therefor the hours, we provide also meals which will be done by all of us. We are not yet self supporter in food but we always try to integrate the food we havest from the tress and plants.

  What else ...

  The property is big and has lost spaces for all kind of mind work for yourself. Also we have a small Yoga terasse with view on Los Silos and sea.
  The village Los Silos with shops and bus station are just 15min walk. Two amazing hikes just start in front of the finca and from there you can connect even to a lot different tours around the Teno Parknatural.
  The plaza (inner village) of Los Silos is pretty. It's a good place to hang out, drinking a coffee and enjoy the canarian way of living - Tranquilito!
  The seaside and surfspot (we have a beginner board) is only 5 min by car away from the finca (without about 20min). The charcos (natural pool) of Los Silos is good for taking a bath next to the waves.
