BaseCamp Ortiz
About
Found on Tenerife, BaseCamp Ortiz sits in Villa de Arico at calle ortiz n. 1, 38580 Villa de Arico, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the island's arid south-eastern quarter. That position keeps it within reach of the main resorts and towns: Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos, El Médano, Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz, La Laguna and Los Gigantes all lie along routes a visitor can use.
Tenerife's eastern side is the dry, sandy, wind-exposed half of the archipelago, and Villa de Arico sits squarely in that landscape. Guests who have stayed here have pushed the hostel to a 4.9 out of 5 average across 55 reviews, a score that reflects steady satisfaction rather than passing trade. The hostel's own site, https://www.basecamportiz.org/, carries its information for anyone arranging a stay.
A hostel in Villa de Arico puts walkers, cyclists and road-trippers close to the quieter south-east coast while leaving the busier southern resorts within easy driving distance. The island's folk music often features the timple, a small five-string instrument played alongside guitars, and gofio, a toasted grain flour, turns up in local breads, stews and desserts.
Costa Adeje, one of the nearby places, is a common starting point for visitors heading along the southern coast. The western islands of the Canaries are greener and wetter, while Tenerife's eastern stretches stay arid and breezy, so packing for both is sensible. BaseCamp Ortiz gives travellers a base in Villa de Arico with a strong review record behind it.
