Travel from Valencia to Montanejos for a choice of a 6 to 7 km guided hike, seasonal rafting, or kayaking on Arenoso Reservoir. Then relax in 23 to 25°C thermal water. The Salto de la Novia option adds two waterfalls, including a dramatic 60-meter drop. Victor is one of the guides.
“Nice balance between adventure and relaxation. The hike was good and guides were really friendly.”
Join Maciej of GC Active Tour for a nine-hour hike through Gran Canaria’s greener north, where waterfalls, endemic plants, and lizards reveal the island’s changing microclimate. The small group, usually capped at eight, finishes at a local bar with regional food.
“Very nice experience. Stunning nature. Polish guide/host was very knowledgeable on the flora and fauna we encountered during the hike. Maciej, the guide was very friendly and speaks many languages. Whole tour was perfectly organized.”
Join native guides Inés and Juanjo of Sky Rebels for an 8 to 9 km hike through Barranco de los Cernícalos. Follow waterfalls, learn about more than 300 endemic species, hear local family stories, and enjoy sandwiches, fruit, chocolate, and snacks in a group of six or fewer.
“The hike was fantastic! The guides, Ines and Juan, welcomed us warmly; they were super friendly and funny, and gave us lots of interesting information about the area. The hike was well organized, and the scenery was simply stunning. A day that we will surely remember for a long time - as well as the song from Indiana Jones ;) Highly recommended!”
