Up near the town of La Orotava, you'll find Pueblochico, a delightful representation of Tenerife in miniature.
The park covers 20,000 square metres and features all the major landmarks of the island. It's a working model, too! All the cars in the picture above will be moving.
There are eight zones
Lunar Landscape
This is a life-sized depiction of the famous barren landscape found near the village of Vilaflor. Visitors can freely wander about this area, exploring the authentic caves.
Guanche Zone
Here you'll find depictions of the life of Tenerife's original inhabitants, the Guanches. See their primitive society and how they lived together in their villages.
Native Garden
A section displaying all the endemic flora of the island, with the famous Dragon Tree as its centrepiece.
Rural Zone
This area depicts typically rural life in Tenerife, with village buildings and tilled land.
The Modern Zone
One of the most impressive areas, this represents parts of Santa Cruz, featuring, amongst other things, the unique Auditorio building.
Exotic Garden
As the title says, this part of the attraction is a garden area containing all manner of rare, exotic plants.
Historical Heritage
Full of miniature representations of many of the famous historical buildings on the island.
