Spend two plus weeks exploring two of the Canary Islands’ most rewarding walking destinations, each offering its own distinctive landscapes, character and culture. Led by experienced leaders and accompanied by knowledgeable local guides on every walk, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the islands' natural history, geology and traditions while discovering some of their most spectacular scenery.
We begin on Gran Canaria, often described as a 'miniature continent' thanks to its remarkable variety of landscapes. Walk through the island's mountainous interior, fertile valleys and fragrant pine forests, following ancient Caminos Reales that link traditional rural communities. From panoramic viewpoints across the central Cumbre to the historic streets of Las Palmas, you'll experience a captivating blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage and year-round sunshine.
Your final island is La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands' hidden gems. Reached by ferry and largely untouched by mass tourism, it offers dramatic ravines, volcanic ridges, secluded villages and breathtaking ocean views. Explore the ancient laurel forests of Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and follow trails through fertile valleys and along mountain paths rich in endemic flora and wildlife. Staying in the charming coastal resort of Valle Gran Rey, you'll enjoy easy access to some of the island's finest walks while local guides share fascinating insights into La Gomera's history, culture and unique natural environment.
Combining volcanic scenery, mountain landscapes, ancient forests and authentic island life, this three-week walking holiday showcases the very best of Gran Canaria and La Gomera.
