Tenerife Horse Rescue

If you consider yourself an animal lover, Tenerife Horse Rescue – hidden away in the middle of nowhere, near the tiny village of La Jaca in Arico – is the perfect holiday activity. 

Tenerife Horse Rescue is a fully sustainable non-profit organization – entirely run by volunteers. The sanctuary gives a loving home to more than 350 animals and 20 rescued horses. Their focus is to create a relaxed and safe environment for horses and animals in need around the Canary Islands. They are rescued and come to Tenerife Horse Rescue to live, free from force and pain. 

Soon, Tenerife Horse Rescue will provide travelers with a once-in-a-lifetime holiday experience – spend a night in the Mongolian yurt at the animal sanctuary. The eco-accommodation is enclosed by handmade bottle walls and a herb garden wall to create a private paradise in the heart of the sanctuary. Everything has been built from recycled materials by the hands of the volunteers.

In addition to being a horse rescue and animal sanctuary, Tenerife Horse Rescue is also a sustainable living community. It operates on the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling. For example, Tenerife Horse Rescue collaborates with local supermarkets to reduce food waste. Furthermore, their yurt and eco-holiday accommodations are almost exclusively made from recycled materials. 

Tenerife Horse Rescue is an entirely non-profit, self-funded organisation. If you would like to make a difference and donate to their cause – support them here.
