Canary Islands 1-week Hike, La Gomera & Tenerife

The **Canary Islands**, also named since long ago as _The Fortunate Islands_ or _Champs Elysees,_ are composed of 7 unique islands: Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro.

They are home to one of the greatest riches in ecosystems around the world, with dunes, forests, volcanoes, starry skies and above all, beaches, of black sand, blonde, red or white. In addition, the Canary Islands offer good weather all year, suitable for outdoor activities.

I invite you to join me on a 5-day program (3-day trek) in the Canary Islands, travelling to **the island of La Gomera, known as the Magical Island.** La Gomera is a Biosphere Reserve and also has a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna, with many endemic species.

Our tour takes us to immerse ourselves for a few days in the **Garajonay National Park**, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasting a unique ecosystem in the world. **Laurisilva** stands out here, a mass of prehistoric vegetation native to the Macaronesian region that covered the tropics millions of years ago and which has been preserved on the island thanks to its temperate climate.

During these days we will also savor the **typical gastronomy of the Canary Islands**, rich in variety and of great quality. This tour runs during April, May, October and November, from Wednesday to Sunday.

5-day Guided Trekking in Canary Islands, the Magic Island

#### On this 8 day adventure, I would like to guide you on a long, varied hike on not 1, but 2 wonderful islands in the Canary Islands of Spain. those 2 islands are La Gomera and Tenerife.

**La Gomera** and **Tenerife** are very different, as the ladder is much larger than the former. However, what these 2 beautiful islands have in common is they will both amaze you and leave you with a plethora of memories that you will be able to look upon for years to come.

We will be hiking every day on this trip, from **3 to 6 hours per day**. So participants should be in **good enough physical condition to maintain that pace**. There will also be some boat rides and drives to take you from one spot to the next. As a result, this trip will show you huge portions of **La Gomera** and **Tenerife**.

When it comes to **La Gomera**, where the majority of the time on this trip will be spent, there are a number of great highlights. Some of those highlights include the **Vallahermoso beach**, **San Sebastian** and **Agulo**. There is also the amazing **Garajonay national park**, which we will spend an entire day trekking through.

In **Tenerife**, while we will be spending much less time there, it will be well worth it. Not only will get to enjoy the island’s beautiful flora and fauna, but you will also get to look up at the summit of **Spain’s highest summit, the Teide Volcano (3,718m)**.
