“Boca Tauce is ahead, with a roadside view of Teide and Pico Viejo across the lava plain. It's an easy stop for the panorama, but the nearby Juan Évora Museum adds a more personal story.”

More about Juan Évora Ethnographic Museum

A short cultural stopJuan Évora Ethnographic Museum is a small museum in the restored home of Juan Évora, at Boca…

Juan Évora Ethnographic Museum is a small museum in the restored home of Juan Évora, at Boca Tauce near the TF-21/TF-38 junction. Its compact display tells the story of shepherding in Las Cañadas. Come for a focused slice of high-country history; this is a brief, intimate visit, not a large museum.

The last resident of Las CañadasThe national park remembers Évora as the last person to live in Las Cañadas.

The national park remembers Évora as the last person to live in Las Cañadas. The restored house keeps that story grounded in a real home, while its exhibits and panels explain the pastoral life that once shaped this mountain basin.

A useful information stopThe museum also serves as a park information point.

The museum also serves as a park information point. Visitors often praise staff for useful hiking and route advice, so ask about your next stop while someone is available. A small parking area and toilets are reported at the stop; the indoor display is small, so allow time for the wider Boca Tauce area too.

The associated viewpointThe Juan Évora viewpoint is a separate nearby stop on TF-21 at km 53.2.

The Juan Évora viewpoint is a separate nearby stop on TF-21 at km 53.2. From there, the park describes views toward Teide, Pico Viejo and the Tauce ravine, as well as the transition from pine forest to high-mountain scrub. For a landscape photo, frame the peaks across the ravine and include some of that change in vegetation.
