PUEBLOCHICO

Hi there! We're going on a trip to Tenerife. Our first stop we'll be at PuebloChico, read about it and get ready to have fun.....

PuebloChico, which is located in the Orotava Valley, has been created as a centre of interest for the local population and as an exceptional meeting place, for the millions of overseas visitors who come to Tenerife each year.

It has been conceived as a great open air museum, where the visitor will be able to enjoy the traditions and most picturesque spots on the seven Canary Islands. The park has got an approximate total area of twenty thousand square metres.

In PuebloChico you will find reproduced, in models to a scale of 1:25, some of the most emblematic landscapes and buildings, bringing together history, culture, art, technology, nature and leisure within a spectacular theme park. It is a fabulous experience which represents a highly innovative entertainment activity for Tenerife.
