About the trip
This seven-night walking holiday with Explore Worldwide starts in Tenerife before taking the evening ferry to La Gomera. The verdant island offers trails through aloe and pine woods, cloud forests within Garajonay National Park, and scenic villages such as Agulo, which looks out to the volcanic cone of Mount Teide on Tenerife. Along the way, paths are often stone-paved or unmade, with ascents and descents that keep the legs interested.
After several days on La Gomera, including a visit to Playa Caleta’s volcanic black sand beach and some free time in San Sebastian with its Columbus connections, the group returns to Tenerife. A final walk across the desert-like Teide National Park takes in lava formations and high plateau views. For those not up to walking, the cable car can take you near the summit of Spain’s highest peak, although this needs to be booked in advance.
Transport between islands uses ferry crossings and local buses, while the leader arranges optional walks and offers a relaxed pace. It’s a holiday that tends to the practical details alongside the landscape – you will be carrying your own luggage at La Gomera’s small port, for example – but it all shapes a solid introduction to the islands beyond the resorts.
