The unique 8-day Tenerife trek is all about its volcanoes. The 85-km (53-mile) trail will take us from the Teno Rural Park, via the Chinyero Volcano, to the Cañadas Del Teide, an old volcanic caldera surrounding the mighty Teide, the third tallest volcano in the world, according to UNESCO and NASA. Teide is an active volcano, with its summit currently reaching 3,715 m (12,188 ft), subject to change. Explore the island’s versatile landscapes, such as ancient laurel and pine forests, dramatic volcanic areas, and barren plains. We’ll stay at authentic, small-scale mountain hotels, hike, laugh, chat, and have a blast. No volcanic pun intended. Come join us.

This is the second time I have been out with Canary Hiking. Once again well organised. Fantastic locations to stay overnight. I’m going again in March.
