The Tourism Department of the City Council of La Laguna is running an extensive schedule of tourist routes until the end of September, featuring over twenty activities designed to explore the municipality through nature, heritage, sustainability, and community participation.
These include the Water Route of Bajamar, the Interpretive Route of Punta del Hidalgo, and the Positive Tourism programme. These three initiatives have already seen full bookings in their initial offerings and will continue to provide new experiences in the coming weeks.
Estefanía Díaz, the councillor for Tourism, expressed her positive assessment of the public’s response: “The first excursions on these routes have been fully booked, demonstrating people’s interest in discovering and enjoying La Laguna in a different way. These activities allow us to explore our heritage and natural environment closely while generating a very positive impact on the local economy.”
Discovering La Laguna
The calendar of activities planned for the upcoming weeks kicks off this Saturday, 23rd August, with the Interpretive Route of Punta del Hidalgo, which will also take place on 30th August and on 5th, 12th, 20th, 26th, and 27th September. The Water Route of Bajamar will continue on 24th, 29th, and 31st August, as well as on 5th, 7th, and 14th September. Meanwhile, the Positive Tourism programme will offer new thematic experiences, including routes through puddles and Guanches on 24th August, The Milkmaids’ Path on 30th August, World Heritage on 3rd September, and Ecological Bajamar on 6th September.
The Water Route of Bajamar offers an interpretative journey through significant historical and natural sites in this coastal area, including family-friendly variants, routes in English, and adaptations for specific groups. The Interpretive Route of Punta del Hidalgo combines historical, natural, and cultural elements of the locality, connecting participants with its biological and community heritage. Additionally, the Positive Tourism programme includes itineraries through rural, urban, and coastal settings, complemented by activities such as star observation, trail cleaning, visits to organic gardens, and tastings of local produce.
Díaz highlighted the added value of these activities: “It’s not just about walking or getting to know a space, but rather about experiencing a connection with one’s memories, nature, and the community. We want participants to leave with knowledge, a memory, and a commitment to sustainability and caring for our municipality.”
All activities are free of charge and require prior registration through the official channels of La Laguna Tourism.
