SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Jan. 18 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Association of Friends of the Museum of Nature and Archeology (MUNA) is organizing this Saturday, January 21, a guided tour that will take attendees to discover the natural heritage of the Malpaís de Rasca, in Arona, the southernmost of Tenerife. The activity will consist of a walk through the area, paying attention to key anatomical-morphological details to identify and analyze the different plant species.
The insular Councilor for Museums, Concepción Rivero, highlights “the important role that this association plays from its link with the Museums of Tenerife in supporting the dissemination of knowledge about the Canary Islands in general and, more specifically, about the island of Tenerife, becoming a a reference”.
“Not only do I want to thank the work of Friends of MUNA, who are one of the pillars of this museum’s activity, but I also think that their journey is admirable, with more than 25 years dedicated to making us better know our land, its nature and their cultural heritage”, points out Rivero.
The person in charge of guiding the participants through this simple route will be the president of the Friends of MUNA Association and a doctor in biology, José García, who will explain the natural singularities of the area.
Participants will be able to enjoy a coastal path that starts from Palm-Mar, in Arona, until they reach the Punta Rasca lighthouse, in an easily accessible circular route from which they will be able to contemplate the immensity of the sea and the most mountainous areas of the south. The experience will begin at 8:00 a.m. and the return to the capital is scheduled around 5:00 p.m.
The route is open to the general public, who must pay ten euros, while it will be free for members. However, a maximum number of participants has been set, established at 15 people, to guarantee the proper functioning of the day.
Those interested can contact the association to register through the email [email protected] or by calling 644 738 960.
The Friends of MUNA Association, Created in 1997, the association arises from renowned botanists, naturalists, biologists and geographers linked to the Museum of Natural Sciences. It currently has more than 400 members, and constitutes, as has been said, an insular and regional benchmark in studies and activities related to the promotion, assessment and conservation of knowledge of the environment and of the natural and cultural heritage of the Canary Islands and Macaronesia. .
