Casa del Plátano

About the museum

La Casa del Plátano is a former estate in Icod de los Vinos, in the north of Tenerife, which now operates as a visitor centre dedicated to banana cultivation, the most important agricultural product of the Canary Islands.

The route passes through an authentic banana plantation, where visitors can see different banana varieties up close and understand how the plant is grown. Throughout the visit the characteristics of the fruit and its history in Tenerife are explained, with information panels in Spanish and English and a projection room.
