About the trip
This escorted tour by Explore Worldwide takes a week to follow a mostly inland route through Gran Canaria’s less visited landscapes. It begins in Aguimes, a small town where narrow streets and neoclassical churches quietly resist the resort life elsewhere on the island. The walking is steady, often over rugged volcanic terrain and through semi-tropical valleys.
