Una apuesta por el turismo activo

A commitment to active tourism

This festival has been held for three years now and promotes the Biosphere Reserve in the three municipalities in which it is located: Tegueste, San Cristóbal de La Laguna and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The philosophy of this event is not only to activate rural tourism, but also to make life easier for the people who live in the protected area of the Anaga Rural Park, who are around 3,000 inhabitants in different nuclei. And how to meet the demands of tourists and residents? Well, combining conservation and development, achieving the difficult balance between the purest nature that the visitor wants, with its services and activities, together with the needs of the primary sector that feeds us and employs the local population.

In the last edition of ‘Anaga Biofest’ (https://www.biofest-anaga.com/), dozens of activities were scheduled for all audiences. This is a multidisciplinary event that proposes an active leisure, for example, hiking “with surnames” in which not only walk for pure pleasure and attracted by nature, but along the way you discover the traditions, customs, or gastronomy and crafts of the places you visit. The festival works closely with almost one hundred agents, suppliers and companies located in the area.

Anaga Biofest’ is a different product that not only aims to get tourists from distant countries to know Anaga, but also to get the neighbors of Tenerife or neighboring islands to do so. Although the activities take place throughout the year, there are two high points, coinciding with the spring and autumn seasons. Its many proposals are divided into several sections: ‘general’, ‘active’, ‘family’ and also a section called ‘foodie’, more focused, as its name suggests, on the primary sector and gastronomic innovation, always based on local or kilometer 0 products. In fact, flea markets and gastronomic stalls are always some of the most appreciated stops for participants…

But within ‘Anaga Biofest’ there is still more, much more: tastings, wines, music, walks, crafts … an offer that combines quantity and quality and that despite its few years of existence, has already received several awards for betting decisively and passionately for ecotourism, with the aim of leaving an impact as constructive as possible in the area and help the local economy.
