Day Four: Hiking in Garajonay National Park
Today we enjoy a superb walk through the Laurisilva forest. Garajonay National Park has been awarded the UNESCO World Heritage Site title for being the best-preserved primary forest of this kind on Earth. Many species of trees, plants and animals have found its home in this green paradise. Our local guide will introduce us to its botanical richness outlining the importance of running water while crossing the park from south to north following the stream of El Cedro, to the tiny hamlet of El Cedro, where we taste the local gastronomy.

- Breakfast & Dinner Included
Day Seven: Hiking the Teno
Today we travel to the Teno Country Park, located in the north-west of the island and one of Tenerife’s most beautiful nature areas. Our hike takes us from the ridge of Baracan to the heart of Teno Alto, the most western village of the island. This area has kept much of its ecological, scenic and cultural wealth, largely thanks to its isolated position. Goat keeping and cheese production still remains part of the local economy.
- Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included
Day Eight: Anaga Biosphere Reserve
Nestled in the northeast of the island, the Anaga mountain range forms part of a protected biosphere reserve, where the preservation of its rich natural heritage goes hand in hand with the traditions of the local communities. From Cruz del Carmen, our trail enters the ancient laurel forest, descending through lush greenery into open landscapes dotted with hamlets. This unique balance between sustainable woodland use and the protection of one of the island’s most biodiverse regions is vital for the future of Anaga. As the forest gives way, the landscape reveals millions of years of erosion—exposing lava dykes, layers of volcanic rock, and offering sweeping views over the sculpted depths of old barrancos. For centuries, goat and sheep herders have traversed these steep slopes. Our path winds on toward the remote village of Chinamada.
- Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included
Day Nine: At Leisure
Today take time out and take advantage of the hotel facilities and relax by the pool or perhaps stroll along La Rambla de Castro from the hotel; or visit the neighboring towns of Puerto de la Cruz (coastal promenade, shops and Botanical or Litre Gardens) and La Orotava (typical Canary Islands’ architecture and museums).
- Breakfast & Dinner Included
Day Ten: Teide National Park
For our final walk of the trip, we will enjoy Tenerife’s pièce de résistance - the jaw-dropping Teide National Park. 16 kilometres across the Caldera, it's filled with an abundance of colours and shapes following countless eruptions and lava flows. A must-see including the highest elevation in Spain, Mount Teide peaking at 3,715 metres(12,190 ft) above sea level and the famous symbol of the island. With the natural beauty of the landscapes and the volcanic richness, it's no wonder why the area is awarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included
Day Eleven: Departure Day
We say goodbye to Tenerife and depart to Tenerife South airport for our flight home.
