Island Hopping La Gomera, La Palma & El Hierro; β€œThe Three Pearls”

The Three Pearls is a 15-day individual hiking holiday combining three of the most fascinating Canary Islands: La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. With your own rental car, you have the freedom to explore each island at your own pace, choose your hiking routes and visit the places that interest you most.
Each island has its own character. On La Gomera, you discover green mountain landscapes and Garajonay National Park. La Palma is known for its volcanoes, forests and high mountain areas. On El Hierro, you experience the peaceful atmosphere of a small and authentic island, with volcanic coastlines, forests and traditional villages.
This hiking holiday in La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro combines hiking, island hopping and freedom. You receive a selection of hiking routes and GPX files, but you are not tied to a fixed daily hiking programme. With your rental car, you decide where to go and which hike you would like to do each day.
One of the highlights of the trip is a guided excursion to the Tajogaite volcano on La Palma. Accompanied by a local guide, you discover the new volcanic landscape created during the 2021 eruption. This makes the trip a combination of active days, nature, local history and three very different Canary Islands.

La Gomera: Green Mountains and Garajonay National Park
On La Gomera, you discover a green and mountainous island with significant elevation changes, small villages and Garajonay National Park. With your rental car, you can explore different parts of the island and choose from a selection of hiking routes.

La Palma: Volcanoes, Forests and the Tajogaite Volcano
La Palma, also known as La Isla Bonita, is famous for its volcanic landscapes and green mountain areas. During your stay, you visit the Tajogaite volcano, which emerged during the 2021 Cumbre Vieja eruption.
On the other days, you are free to choose your own hikes and places to visit. From your accommodation, you can explore different parts of the island by car and on foot.

El Hierro: Peace, Nature and Volcanic Landscapes
On El Hierro, you experience a quieter and more authentic side of the Canary Islands. The small island has little mass tourism and offers plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploring by car. Discover volcanic coastal areas, green forests, traditional villages and the characteristic wind-shaped juniper trees. The natural swimming pools along the coast are also well worth a visit.

What makes The Three Pearls special?

Additional information

Programma

1, Aankomst in Las Palmas

Bij aankomst op het vliegveld word je opgehaald door ons. We rijden dan naar Agaete wat ligt aan de Noordwest kust van Gran Canaria. Onder het genot van een drankje maken we kennis met de groep. Je krijgt hier je shirt en je wandelsjaal. We overnachten in een mooie accommodatie, met ontbijt. Er is een supermarkt aanwezig als je eten en drinken wilt meenemen voor de volgende dag. Doe dit wel omdat de eerste dag een zware dag is zonder dat we een restaurant of supermarkt tegenkomen. We vertrekken vanaf het vissersplaatsje Puerto de las Nieves.

2, Vertrek Puerto de las Nieves naar Artenara – 20 km

Vanuit de haven vertrekken we naar Artenara via het Tamada natuurgebied. Een gebied dat door de Unesco tot Biosfeerreservaat verklaard is. Jullie zien de fabuleuze natuurlijke inheemse Canarische dennenbossen op de bergtoppen, de duizelingwekkende steile rotsen van de bijna ontoegankelijke kust en de rijke biodiversiteit van de ravijnen. We stijgen vandaag naar 1300 meter. De eerste 8 km gaan naar 1200 meter. Een spectaculaire wandeling naar boven, om zo richting Artenara te lopen. Artenara is een klein bergdorp. Hier vind je meerdere tot op heden bewoonde grotwoningen en de in een grot aangelegde kapel ter ere van de Virgen de la Cuevita. Wij gaan logeren in een grot met een uitzicht over het middelste punt van Gran Canaria. Dit is een unieke ervaring! Laten jullie jezelf verrassen.

3, Vertrek van Artenara naar San BartolomΓ© de Tirajana – 21km

We lopen verder naar het hoogste punt van de tocht. Het plaatsje Tejeda ligt op de route, waar we even kunnen pauzeren.

Het mooiste deel van de tocht van Gran Canaria. De omslag van het weer, de schapen die overal lopen, de stilte, en de spectaculaire uitzichten. Een pittige tocht maar een hele mooie! Als we de top bereikt hebben begint de afdaling naar San BartolomΓ© de Tirajana. Van 1700 meter naar 900 meter. Na de overnachting in de grot worden we nu getrakteerd met een heerlijk hotel, waar we heerlijk kunnen rusten na de beklimmingen.

4, Vertrek San BartolomΓ© de Tirajana naar Ayagaures – 15 km

Na het ontbijt vertrekken we met voldoende water en eten in onze rugzak rustig uit San BartolomΓ©. De eerste paar kilometers zijn rustig, en we zien voor ons de beklimming die we nog moeten doen. Dit is het laatste obstakel. Nadat we de top hebben bereikt, volgt een hele lange afdaling tot aan Ayagaures. Berg op lopen is behoorlijk pittig, maar een steile afdaling is net zo pittig. Korte haarspeldbochten, dichtgegroeide kleine paadjes, afgebrokkelde stenen van een rotswand, zo gaan we 800 meter dalen tot we het grote stuwmeer van Ayagaures zien. Hier bevindt zich onze accommodatie en een restaurant waar we wat kunnen eten en drinken.

5, Vertrek naar Ayagaures naar Maspalomas – 18 km

De laatste etappe van deze reis gaat meest bergafwaarts naar Maspalomas. Onderweg hebben we een mooi uitzicht op het grote park Palmitos. Een lange afdalende weg, met weer wat meer bedrijvigheid onderweg passeren we kleine dorpjes waar we wat kunnen eten en drinken, om weer verder af te dalen naar Maspalomas. Het eindpunt van deze route ligt bij de vuurtoren, in Maspalomas midden in het bruisende toerisme. Hier wacht een leuke accommodatie waar we nog 2 dagen kunnen verblijven en te relaxen.

Informatie over de terugreis

Mocht je een 8-daagse reis geboekt hebben dan word je afgezet op het vliegveld. Mocht je nog wat dagen extra willen blijven dan is er vanuit Maspalomas een busverbinding naar het vliegveld van Las Palmas. Uiteraard kunnen jullie ook een taxi nemen.
