A walking holiday in the Canary Islands offers an enchanting landscape rich in diverse terrains and breathtaking vistas unlike anywhere else on earth.
From volcanic peaks to ancient forests, pristine beaches to otherworldly lava fields, these Atlantic islands provide the perfect escape for walkers seeking adventure, culture, and year-round sunshine.
Each of the seven main islands—Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro—presents its own unique character and walking experiences.
Volcanic Wonders
Lanzarote's Timanfaya National Park showcases otherworldly volcanic landscapes, while La Palma's Caldera de Taburiente offers challenging yet rewarding trails through dramatic craters. Tenerife's Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak at 3,715 metres, dominates the skyline with its imposing volcanic presence, while Fuerteventura's ancient volcanic formations tell stories of the island's creation over 20 million years ago.
Diverse Landscapes
The enigmatic dunes of Fuerteventura's Corralejo provide unforgettable walking amidst shifting golden sands. Discover Lanzarote's rugged coastline, bedecked with stunning beaches like Papagayo, where crystal-clear waters meet dramatic volcanic cliffs. Gran Canaria, known as a 'continent in miniature', features everything from the famous dunes of Maspalomas to lush highland forests, offering incredible variety within a single island.
Ancient Forests
La Gomera's Garajonay National Park boasts UNESCO-protected ancient laurel forests and misty trails. These 'laurisilva' forests are living museums, preserving ecosystems that once covered much of Europe. La Palma's pristine laurel forests create an enchanting atmosphere as you walk beneath their ancient canopy, while the island's status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve ensures these treasures remain protected for generations to come.
