Tour overview

This 8-day walking holiday explores the volcanic landscapes and ancient forests of Tenerife and La Gomera. A tour leader guides the group, which numbers between four and sixteen. You stay seven nights in locally owned hotels, with breakfast daily and a welcome dinner.

From Puerto de la Cruz you walk the coastal Rambla de Castro trail, then hike two scenic trails in Teide National Park beneath Spain's highest mountain and explore historic Garachico.

A ferry takes you to La Gomera, where you hike the Barranco de Santiago down to the sea, climb to the island's highest point through 20-million-year-old laurel forest in Garajonay National Park and walk from the springs of Chorros de Epina.

The physical rating is medium. This holiday suits walkers looking for winter sunshine and dramatic scenery.
