Arrival in Tenerife
Today your adventure in Tenerife starts! Upon arrival, you will be taken to the charming town of Garachico, located in the northern part of the island. Enjoy the picturesque streets, historic architecture and breathtaking ocean views during your stay here.

E Bike tour through the Chinyero special nature reserve
As a group of adventurous souls, armed with e-mountain bikes, we venture into the enchanting Chinyero Special Nature Reserve. Led by our guide, we explore the reserve’s extraordinary landscapes.
We make our way along narrow paths surrounded by lush forests and babbling brooks. The harmony of nature fills their senses and enhances the sense of connection with the earth. We traverse rugged terrains of solidified lava, reminders of the area’s volcanic origins. The challenge of the route brings the sense of excitement and adventure. With a deep sense of wonder we return home, the memories of this trek through the Chinyero Special Nature Reserve will remain in your heart forever.

Kayak along the cliffs of Los Gigantos
With the sun high in the sky and the refreshing water under your kayak, the adventure begins along the majestic cliffs of Los Gigantes. The imposing rock walls towered high above you, as you marvel at their impressive grandeur. The sound of crashing waves and the salty sea air surround you as you paddle leisurely across the calm waters. The cliffs revealed a beautiful palette of colors ranging from the warm earth tones to the deep blues of the ocean. As you drift along, you’ll discover hidden caves invitingly await you. Along the way you will meet curious seabirds that hover over the cliffs and playful dolphins that curiously pop up and disappear again in the waves. It feels like a magical interplay between nature and yourself, an intimate dance between man and environment.

Your kayak trip along the cliffs of Los Gigantes has enchanted and enriched you, a memory that will remain forever etched in your heart.

Hike to the top of El Teide
El Teide is located in the National Park from which it owes its name. It is the highest peak in Spain with the recent measurement of 3715 meters high. It is a stratovolcano measuring almost 7000 meters from the base (sea floor). It is the 3rd highest volcano in the world after Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
Yes! Our adventure starts early in the morning at 07:00 from the base next to TF-21. We are going to climb the historic route of Teide, and it promises to be a great day! The first stage takes us from Montaña Blanca to the Altavista Refuge, where we can prepare for the next challenge. Then we continue to La Rambleta via trail no. 11 of La Fortaleza. The view along the way is breathtaking! But the best is yet to come, as the third stage takes us to the top via trail number 10, called Telesforo Bravo. We can’t wait to stand at 3,715 m above sea level and enjoy the panoramic view! After an unforgettable experience, we return down by cable car. This will be a day to remember!

Dia de Descanso
We have a rest day…..and also a day to get ready for tomorrow’s crossing to Gran Canaria

Ferry to Gran Canaria
As adventurous sailors, we leave Tenerife behind us today and set sail for the enchanting Gran Canaria. A new destination awaits us, Gran Canaria……

Coasting
Coastering, also known as coasteering, is an adventure activity where you explore Gran Canaria’s rugged coastline. It involves a combination of climbing, scrambling, jumping, swimming and hiking along the rocky coast. While coasting you can enjoy spectacular cliffs, natural pools, caves and hidden coves. Via ferrata means “iron road” in Italian and is a climbing activity where you follow a route equipped with cables, ladders, bridges and other means of protection. In Gran Canaria there are several via ferrata routes available that give you the opportunity to climb steep rock walls and cliffs. It is a challenging activity suitable for both beginners and advanced climbers. With the help of the security devices you can enjoy the climbing in a safe way and at the same time enjoy breathtaking views of the landscape and the ocean.

Via Ferrata
The via ferrata is a route prepared with various metal elements such as staples, stairs, chains… to make it more accessible. Therefore, it is the highest level of hiking and a good way to start in the vertical world of climbing.
The via ferrata is a vertical walking activity, going up a 140 meter high wall and a route of 250 meters. Equipped with a helmet, harnesses and anchor lines, we move forward secured with a steel cable at all times. It is essential not to have vertigo. Don’t worry anyone can do it though!!

Canyoning
It is an activity that, despite not being very well known, is one of the best options we have to discover the island of Gran Canaria. It consists of descending a ravine or canyon, following the course of the water, which is why several exercises are combined such as: hiking, jumping, climbing, swimming, abseiling and also having fun!

We are equipped with a neoprene suit, helmet and personal protective equipment (harness, helmet, carabiner and eight). We have a very varied orography, so depending on the canyon chosen, we have forests with waterfalls or hilarious canyons with jumps of different heights and natural slides.

Back home
With a mixture of excitement and melancholy we return home today, after immersing ourselves in the adventure paradise of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. The memories of our journey of discovery will remain with us forever, like precious treasures kept deep in our hearts. As we say goodbye to these beautiful islands, we take a piece of their magic with us, and cherish the promise of new adventures that await in the future.

Program

1, Arrival Tenerife

Transfer from the airport to the first accommodation Refugio Maria in Tenerife.
Lovely restaurant available.

2, La Esperanza to Torre de la Caitero (16km)

After a hearty breakfast we start our walking week by leaving the Refugio for La Esperanza, the start of the GR131 in the north of Tenerife. We go to the start with a transfer.
Total distance is 16 km. This route is not too difficult. A gradually ascending road, where the tail is on the last stretch. We walk slowly up through the forest, protected by the wind. The tour is mostly through the woods, lots of shade but no views so far.
Then there is the tension because we are crossing El Teide! Everyone who goes to Tenerife does this by car or coach. We do it on foot!
When we have arrived at your end point of this first day, we will go back to our Refugio.

3, Departure Torre de la Caitero to El Portillo (20km)

We leave the Refugio to go to the end point of the previous day. The second stage of the GR131.
Step by step we are reaching the highest point. The only sound is the sound of your shoes stepping through the stones! We encounter jumping crickets, buzzing flies, bees and wasps in the large pine forest. There seems to be no end to it. Then suddenly we come into a Halloween-like forest, beard moss in every tree, waving wisps that make it a little creepy.
We walk this tour with the necessary altimeters and often the views are really spectacularly beautiful. In one word “great”. Fortunately, after this trip we have the Refugio where we are pampered. The restaurant really deserves a Michelin star! What a good cook, and what a nice accommodation. And I won't say more about this. A surprise if you want to walk this tour!!

4, El Portillo (15km)

Ready for a new day, and the last day in the Refugio. But don't worry, something else nice will take its place. Today the trek comes to the top. A category that falls under heavy.
We will go to our starting spot where you will see the height to be conquered. The number of kilometers is not that much, but it is in the altimeters. This trip is 15 km, which will take you quite a bit. Again through the woods, until we reach the tree line and walk completely in the sun. With a satisfied feeling we arrive at Papillon where we can drink a delicious pot of beer and possibly eat a Tapa. In any case, make sure you have a good meal. In the evening we are taken to a magical place where there is no food or drink. We almost sleep on top of El Teide. An experience you don't get often!
Tomorrow we have a rest day. (During the Covid this Refugio is closed. If it is not open during the GR131, we will look for another solution).

5, Day of rest

rest day.
This will be your rest day you will never forget. You sleep on almost the highest point of Tenerife where you can watch the sun rise and set. You can look at the starry sky, and you can sleep 3 km above sea level in an inn. There are no separate rooms to book here and you sleep in a bunk bed. In the morning we go even further up. Take the cable car to the highest peak where you can look around 360 degrees. You see where we are going to walk the next day. But first we go to the next accommodation in Vilaflor. A Spa-Hotel with a swimming pool where you can give your muscles some rest. You will be completely pampered by the owner. Enjoy this nice day off to walk the king's stage tomorrow.
Meals: Option dinner at the Spa Hotel

6, El Teide to Villaflor (16km)

The crowning glory of this week is this walking tour. The top of Tenerife with a crater 16 km wide. Every kilometer you walk you get a different view of El Teide. The first part is fairly flat and you can enjoy everything. We are not quite at the top yet, there will be another climb where we will have the best view of El Teide. This point is no longer accessible by car. When we have arrived at the top you will also see the huge crater with an explanation of how everything came into being. And then we will leave this area to descend at the back of this volcano to Vilaflor. One of the most beautiful nature reserves in Tenerife, which you can only reach on foot. Descending further and further to Vilaflor we slowly come back below the tree line and we walk to the accommodation.

7, Vilaflor to Arona (19km)

The last day of this GR131 has already arrived. From Vilaflor we walk downhill towards Arona. We wind our way down between the pine trees. We drive from Arona to our last overnight place.
