L’expérience

À propos de cette aventure

In 1706, the wealthiest port in the Canary Islands was swallowed whole by rivers of liquid fire. But what if the volcano didn’t just destroy Garachico, what if it buried its darkest secret?

Step into the role of an investigative historian on the trail of a 300-year-old conspiracy. Your target: Cristóbal de Ponte, a ruthless Genoese banker who built a colonial empire of wine, power, and shadow.

Hours before the catastrophic eruption wiped his harbor off the map, his most valuable ledgers, and a rumored fortune, vanished. Did he know the fire was coming? Or did he orchestrate the ultimate disappearance to escape his sins?

Navigate through hardened lava fields, whisper-quiet convents, and colonial ruins to piece together a gripping puzzle of corruption and bloodlines. The ghosts of the Atlantic are waiting. Can you uncover the truth before it fades into the ashes forever?

Est-ce pour vous ?

Pour qui c'est

Couples and small groups visiting Garachico for the day get the 1706 eruption told as a hunt for a Genoese banker's vanished ledgers. Over about an hour and a half you walk 2.4 km past the Castillo de San Miguel, El Caletón's volcanic pools, an old wine press and the Iglesia de Santa Ana. Anyone hoping to quiz a live guide about the eruption should pick a guided tour.

Questions fréquemment posées

What will I see on this Garachico walk?
Ten stops in walking order: Castillo de San Miguel, El Caletón's natural volcanic pools, Parque de la Puerta de Tierra, an old wine press, the Wine Riot statue, Plaza de la Libertad, the Simón Bolívar monument, Convento de San Francisco, Iglesia de Santa Ana and the Tensei Tenmoku sculpture.
Is the story about Garachico's Genoese bankers?
Yes. You play an investigative historian tracing Cristóbal de Ponte, a Genoese banker who built a colonial empire on wine and power. Hours before the 1706 eruption destroyed the harbour, his most valuable ledgers and a rumoured fortune vanished, and the puzzles follow that trail through the town.
Is this a good thing to do on a day trip to Garachico?
It suits a day visit well. It covers the town's history, from the 1706 eruption that buried the port to its wine trade, in a 2.4 km loop taking around an hour and a half. You can start whenever you arrive, with no tour to book.
Where does it start and finish, and how long does it take?
It starts at the Castillo de San Miguel by the sea and finishes at the Escultura Tensei Tenmoku, as a loop of about 2.4 km. Most players take around an hour and a half, including walking and solving the puzzles at each stop.
Do we need to book, and can we play as a group?
No booking is needed and it is free to play. Start at any time on your phone, play together as a group, and pause whenever you like, for a swim at El Caletón or a coffee in the plaza, then continue later.
