Walking holidays in the Canaries,

perfect for autumn & winter
Given their benevolent year-round climate, you can go walking in the Canary Islands even in winter. But there’s more to the islands than their plentiful sunshine – there are deep ravines, volcanic craters, centuries-old forests, colourful rock formations, ancient lava flows… Pause as often as you like to admire it all – you’re not part of a group, and have no luggage to carry (we take care of that, along with providing route notes and ensuring the arrangements run like clockwork). So relax, and enjoy a walking holiday that’s worth it.

Inntravel on the trails: Helen's first impression of La Gomera

left-quote.pngHaving never been to any of the Canary Islands before, I really didn't know what to expect. I was totally unprepared for just how beautiful and diverse the landscape of La Gomera is.

The characteristic deep ravines (or barrancos as they are known), certainly provide some challenging walking - both up and down - and the different view that awaits as you emerge onto a ridge, or drop into another valley just took my breath away. Some of the plant life wouldn't look out of place in Jurassic Park! From palm trees and succulents to the cool and lush ancient laurel forests, which are like stepping back in time, and the wildflowers across the whole island were truly amazing.

Although a small island, La Gomera offers so much; some fabulous walking – mostly enjoyed in complete silence, except for birdsong and wonderful hospitality from our hoteliers. The Parador at the end iright-quote.pngs the perfect place to reward yourself with a well earned glass of something cold and to reflect on a truly amazing week.

The best walking in the Canary Islands

What makes walking holidays in the Canaries special is that each island has its own allure. On Tenerife it is the constant presence of El Teide; on El Hierro the chance to explore off the beaten track; on Lanzarote the colours in the scenery; on Gran Canaria the extraordinary scenic diversity; on Fuerteventura the unexpected yet epic biblical landscapes; and on La Gomera the feeling of discovering a well-kept secret. Whichever you choose, you will find walking in the Canaries a treat for the senses.
