Drago Park (Parque del Drago)
The Basics
Plan a picnic for your visit to Drago Park, where you can get close to the Icod Dragon Tree, which stands at around 52.5 feet (16 meters) tall. Buying an admission ticket in advance saves time on the day, allowing you to skip potentially long lines and maximize your time in the park. Independent visitors keen to learn more at one of Tenerife’s most popular parks also can take advantage of guides well versed in Drago Park’s flora.
Alternatively, opt for an organized tour. Some focus on Drago Park itself, providing in-depth insight into the region’s birds and reptiles, while others cover several Tenerife highlights in just one day, ideal for travelers on a time budget.
