Tuesday: The highest peaks of Gran Canaria Level 2.
On this average tour, walking above 1400m of altitude into the mountains, we can experience very well the differences between the drier south side, and the north of Gran Canaria with his higher level of humidity and different vegetation. We walk through pine forest and glades, smelling mint, sage, and broom, enjoying several panoramic views on the way(with good weather!), reaching as far as Tenerife with the highest mountain of Spain, the Pico de Teide, and sometimes even to La Gomera, two of the other canary islands in the west. Also the mighty Roque Nublo (1813m), Gran Canaria´s main landmark and the island´s highest top Pico de las Nieves (1949m) we will be able to admire on the way. .
Thursday: Those important water reservoirs Level 1.5.
This easy to average hiking tour takes us or to the southwest, respectively the southeast of Gran Canaria where some of the bigger reservoirs of the island , e.g. the Presa de Chira or the Embalse de Tirajana.can be found in a wonderful environment . While interesting pine forests dominate the southwestern region, beautiful palm tree oases can be explored in the southeast. Partially on wide tracks, so called royal paths, and/or former donkey trails we enjoy the silence of the area and an amazing, peaceful atmosphere – what a difference compared to the lively tourism centres on the south-coast of Gran Canaria! Today we walk between the 500 and max 1200m of altitude.
Meeting/ pick-up point: Including collection from the nearest point to the hotel.
Duration: Between 3 and 5 hours depending on the tour.
