Fuerteventura, Lanzarote & Tenerife

See three Canary Islands and discover some of the best island walking in the world with Ramble Worldwide. Our first centre is Fuerteventura Grade 5 which stands as the least developed among the Canary Islands, escaping the extensive coastal development seen on other archipelago islands. Basking in year-round sunshine with an average temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the island boasts an equable, dry climate, making it an ideal destination for walking holidays with its coastal trails and expansive remote beaches.

This geologically captivating paradise, characterised by rare rainfall, offers a plethora of volcanic rock formations, creating an otherworldly landscape. Exploring the red rocks of the interior feels like venturing into an alien realm. The island's interior showcases ancient volcanoes, dry steppes, and rolling sandy hills adorned with stone terraces. Charming villages, housing some of the oldest churches in the Canaries, reflect the relaxed and welcoming pace of life embraced by the locals.

Fuerteventura's popularity for walking holidays is on the rise, with an expanding network of marked paths. A trek through the island's middle leads to the historic town of Betancuria, the Atlantic's inaugural European settlement. One notable journey begins in Costa Calma, traversing the island's spine to the opposite coast, returning via an alternate route.

In Corralejo, a ferry transports walkers to the neighbouring Isla de Lobos, where a circumnavigation unveils ocean vistas and glimpses of nearby Canary Islands. A southern highlight is the breath-taking view of the remote and stunning Cofete beach, making each step a memorable exploration of Fuerteventura's natural wonders.

After our first week, it's a quick hop over to Lanzarote Grade 4 & 6 where you’ll discover a unique journey through Lanzarote's volcanic wonderland, renowned for its natural richness and exclusive wildlife. Beyond the famed volcanic cones and sandy beaches, you'll find a haven for walkers, featuring palm groves, vineyards, white-washed villages, and captivating mountain vistas. This northernmost Canary Island, a UNESCO Biosphere reserve, safeguards over 40% of its terrain for exceptional biodiversity, showcasing endemic plants, volcanic tubes, salt marshes, and untouched beaches.

Starting from Haria, the Valley of a Thousand Palms, follow ancient trading paths to Teguise, the island's former capital, boasting panoramic views of La Graciosa and surrounding islets. Traverse the Timanfaya National Park, a mesmerising expanse of ancient lava fields encircled by towering volcanic cones. Wander through lush palm groves and vineyards, breathing in the crisp mountain air along the way.

Your base in Arrecife, the island's capital, provides convenient access to explore the diverse landscapes. With a rugged coastline, deserted sandy beaches, and welcoming rural villages, every walk concludes with a tranquil spot to savour the scenery. With temperatures rarely dipping below 20°C, the island offers an idyllic setting for you to unwind.

We then take a short flight across to Tenerife, for our 3rd week at Grade 6 an island of contrasts, with dramatic and beautiful landscapes. Enjoy a warm welcome to Tenerife, a captivating island of contrasts! Your base in San Cristobal de la Laguna offers exploration on foot, revealing the island's architectural gems, including the impressive cathedral. Venture beyond to the rugged Anaga Peninsula, where sheer ridges and green mountains boast breathtaking sea views.

A highlight awaits as you ascend Mount Teide Volcano by cable car, reaching the summit for unparalleled views at the Pico Viejo viewpoint. Afterward, a leisurely day unfolds on the lower slopes and the iconic Roques de Garcia.

Despite Tenerife's popularity, your journeys lead to lesser-known trails, unveiling the island's history shaped by Mount Teide's eruptions. The result is a rugged, volcanic landscape that adds a unique charm to your walks.

Our Christmas and New Year departures are a chance to see in the festive season in a different setting.
