Why Walk in Tenerife?
Tenerife may be best known for its pristine beaches and perfectly blue seas, but with its varied landscape, it also has a great deal to offer walkers. Within a just a few hours, walkers can be exploring sub-tropical forest, hiking up volcanoes or scrambling along the fascinating rock formations – meaning that those looking for a variety of terrains really are spoilt for choice. At the end of each day, the mild weather provides the perfect conditions for indulging in a bit of relaxation with a cold drink and those spectacular sea views.
The Path
This holiday has been designed to take in the very best of Tenerife through a number of circular walks covering a wide variety of different landscape. The first few days are spent exploring the volcanic landscape around the famous Teide National Park. Your walks in this area will include the opportunity to explore the top of Spain’s highest mountain Mount Teide, a challenging hike up the neighbouring peak of Guajara and a walk around the crater at the foot of Teide, Cañadas del Teide. For the second half of your week you will explore a range of different terrains across the length of the island, including the pine woods around Aguamansa, the remote and hilly western cape of Punto de Teno, and the breath-takingly beautiful Anaga Park on the north-east of the island. All offer spectacular and diverse views of the island and its surroundings. On each day you will walk between 4-7 hours, which includes some relatively steep hiking with an ascent/descent of 650m. The walks on this holiday are considered moderate to challenging, although there are also a number of easier days.
The Accommodation
All of our accommodation has been hand-picked to provide en-suite rooms in unique and characterful hotels away from from the bustle of the more popular touristy spots. You will be staying in four different hotels across this 8 day holiday, allowing you the time to properly explore each area. The accommodation includes two beautiful old manor houses, finished off to a very high standard and located in charming, historic towns offering plenty of opportunity to enjoy the local lifestyle. Two hotels also boast excellent spa facilities providing the perfect balance between comfort and culture. Additional treatments whilst staying at these hotels can also be booked in advance. Whilst in Teide National Park, the accommodation is slightly simpler but located right in the heart of the park with unrivalled views of Mount Teide from your bedroom window.
