Gran Canaria is truly an island of extremes. It is of course well known for its popular beach resorts and year-round temperate climate, but we introduce our groups to a wonderfully different aspect of this diverse Canarian island on the Hiking Highlights of Gran Canaria.
It offers amazing path networks which allow for superb walking within the dramatic mountainous interior including natural parks, spectacular gorges, distinctive rock formations and true Canarian hospitality in the picturesque villages where we sample local speciality dishes.
Wintertime and early spring in the Canary Islands are a great time to choose a walking tour as the temperatures are still warm and pleasant but generally without being uncomfortably hot for walking.
We carefully select all our accommodation which is a mix of modern and traditional apartments and hotels within beautiful coastal and mountain villages so that our clients feel immersed in the local culture.
