Work with us

This page is for tour operators, hotels, travel agencies and institutions. We work with La Palma’s tourism network to bring visitors to a working banana farm in Tazacorte and to add value to the municipality’s cultural and agrotourism offering.

What we add to the island’s offering

We offer something different from what Tazacorte has today. We are a working farm and the visit rests on that: showing how bananas are really grown here, with the work behind it, and letting the visitor taste them before leaving.

That creates jobs in the municipality and keeps tourist spending in the area. And because it depends on the farm and not on the weather, it works just as well in low season, which is when it is needed most.

We fit with what already exists

Anyone visiting the Banana Museum or heading up to the Tajogaite area has another stop here on the same route, and ends up staying a whole day in Tazacorte instead of driving past.

We want Amor Platánico to grow hand in hand with Tazacorte Town Council, adding value to the municipality’s cultural offering. The idea is to connect our guided tour with the municipal Banana Museum to create a complete cultural itinerary, supported by a joint marketing strategy that helps attract and retain visitors.

We want to position Tazacorte as a true benchmark for agrotourism and local produce on La Palma.

Who we want to work with

  • Tour operators and inbound agencies
  • Hotels and accommodation on the island
  • Local guides and transport companies
  • Public bodies and cultural organisations

How we fit into a travel programme

The visit lasts 2 h 30 min and runs in small groups, so it fits into a morning or an afternoon without taking up the whole day. There is free parking right by the entrance, which makes arrival easy by minibus or by car.

We host in Spanish and English, and anyone arriving in another language can follow the whole visit in theirs with a QR code, German included. For closed groups there are private events, up to 30 people, with the farm to themselves.

What the visitor takes away

An explanation of how Canary bananas are grown, told by the people who grow them, a tasting of local produce, a keepsake photograph and the chance to buy island produce at the farm itself. Children have their own space to make a handmade keepsake.

It is an activity that does not depend on the weather, so it works just as well in low season.

How we start working together

Message us and we will go through terms, capacity, languages and availability. We can arrange a familiarisation visit for front-desk staff or for guides, which is the quickest way for them to know what they are recommending.

For agreements with hotels, inbound operators and agencies we work with allocations agreed in advance, because groups are small and places run out. If you need a specific date for a group, the sooner it is confirmed the better.

We are also open to working with local government and cultural bodies in the municipality, along the lines of the joint route with the Banana Museum described above.

Let’s talk

Write to us and we will share terms, capacity, languages and availability. We can also arrange a familiarisation visit.
