Being a tourist is not the same as traveling. I help you go beyond the superficial
MASS TOURISM IS STANDARDISING DESTINATIONS
Making trips all the same: going to a place to follow the other tourists, simply collecting photos of iconic sites. In the crowds, cultural authenticity is diluted and the opportunity to connect with the local way of life is lost.

Hello! I am Raquel
A biologist from Tenerife in love with my land. Through digital travel manuals I make the Canary Islands known in greater depth. My goal is to promote authentic travel, giving value to our heritage and promote a responsible tourism.
IT IS A PITY THAT OFTEN ONLY THE CLIMATE OF THE CANARY ISLANDS IS MENTIONED.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE MISSING!
I help travelers live the best experience And to understand the REAL islands
Knowing our essence, traditions, culture and nature, but also our lifestyle and problematic issues. I firmly believe that a trip is much more enjoyable when you get to appreciate the value of what you are visiting.
I LIVED TWO MONTHS ON EACH ISLAND TO SOAK MYSELF what they offer first hand
I explored all the Canary Islands in depth, from its trails, hidden corners, activities, museums, gastronomy, traditions...
WHAT I LEARNED I COMPLETED INTO digital travel guides
AUTHENTIC AND REAL JOURNEY

Mi guia para Fuerteventura de YLP fue una grata sorpresa. Como si hubiese ido de la mano de una autóctona. Muy buenos consejos sobre lugares, cultura del lugar, comida… pero para mi lo mejor ha sido el respeto con el que se redactó. Respeto por los lugares, los habitantes, las especies… Turismo sostenible del q tanto hace falta. Volvere a confiar en ella seguro. Indispensable si viajas con respeto.

Recomiendo al 100 % viajar con las guías de Raquel por las islas Canarias. Ha sido súper detallista con las necesidades que tenía y ha entendido a la perfección mis gustos. Además, fue súper atenta y resolutiva cada vez que me salía alguna duda.
Conocí lugares espectaculares que no hubiera podido descubrir tan fácilmente; senderos, actividades, playas, restaurantes, y mogollón de información relevante al respecto...
Al principio, se puede creer que comprar sus guías encarece el precio del viaje, pero no es así. Una de las cosas que más me gustó fue la propuesta de itinerario en las guías personalizadas. De e ese modo, ahorré en gasolina, restaurantes, tiempo etc... y tuve la sensación de hacer un turismo con un impacto más positivo sobre las islas.
Además, entender mejor la geología de las islas, me resultó fascinante y me hizo apreciarlas más y mejor...

Your Local Planner ha sido una experiencia nueva que queríamos probar. Tener una guía local sólo para nosotros. El resultado ha sido fantástico! Gracias a Raquel Hemos conocido lugares muy poco turísticos y de gran belleza que de otra forma nunca hubiéramos visto. La guía ha sido a nuestra medida completamente, playas, rutas senderismo, actividades acuáticas, gastronomía, cultura Canaria.. . ya que éramos 7 con diferentes inquietudes. Ha sido una experiencia que sin duda repetiremos.

Me encantó la guía, te la hace personalizada a tu idea de viaje (descanso, aventurero, senderismo, etc.) Y con todo lujo de detalles sobre los pueblos de la isla visitada, sobre la historia de Canarias, aporta documentales sobre la misma, listas de música de compositores canarios, etc.
Además, te genera un itinerario de los días que vayas a pasar en tu destino, con las visitas y las horas concretas de tus actividades.
El trabajo de Raquel es admirable e, incluso, se preocupa por especificarte los tiempos que tardas desde el lugar donde te alojas hasta el sitio visitado.
Si quieres conocer una isla con todos los detalles y visitar lugares y restaurantes que no verás en otro sitio, no dudes en contactar con Raquel
-I prepare your trip as if it were mine and I recommend only what I like.
-I am not a conventional travel agency that sells tourist packages for commission. I only collaborate with those companies that I already recommended for their quality.
I PROTECT MY LAND
-I give priority to the local, recommending accommodations, activities, restaurants, products... from canarian people.
-I do environmental awareness work and I take precautions to not promote tourist overcrowding.
ALWAYS IMPROVING
-I actively listen to the opinions of travelers and the guides and recommendations are being updated.
-I am constantly exploring and researching to continue adding useful information and tips.
This experience is designed for bring the nature of the island closer to the residents.
I propose 5 days of plans, each one in a natural environment different, to do whenever you want (freely).
It will be a trip through the main ecosystems of the Canary Islands that will make you better understand and appreciate your own land. You will start at the sea and end at the summit.
