The Southern Tour - Itinerary & Activities
Day #0 - Arrival
We arrive at the hotel and settle in. Over a freshly prepared dinner, your group leader explains the week ahead and outlines the options available to the group.
Meals: Dinner
Day #1 – Paisaje Lunar (Lunar Landscape)
We start with a walk out to the East of Vilaflor, into the pine forests and across wild valleys and ravines ascending some 300 metres up the foothills of the Las Cañadas ridge. Our objective is nestled in an untouched valley, where we find a spectacular pumice formation which has been cut by wind and rain, to create what some describe as a bit of moonscape here on Earth.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch, Full Board: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day #2 –Roque del Conde (1,005m)
Beginning in the town of Arona, we head west to tackle an ascent of dominant peak of the south coast, Roque del Conde. This mountain towers over the resorts of Los Cristianos & Playa de Las Americas, appearing to have a flat “table-top” summit. The steep ascent to the summit will no doubt take your breath away, but equally so will the unrestricted 360 degree panoramic views that you can enjoy.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch, Full Board: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day #3 – Coastal Walk: Los Cristianos – Las Galletas
The walk begins with a short but steep climb up onto the Guaza mountain plateau where we walk around the top of the cliffs; enjoying spectacular views of Los Cristianos before descending to the village of Palm Mar. From here we take a coastal walk through the Malpais de la Rasca nature reserve, passing a light house and banana plantations before arriving in Las Galletas for lunch where we enjoy freshly caught fish or a seafood platter.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch, Full Board: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day #4 – Guajara (2,715m)
Guajara is the highest peak on the Las Cañadas Ridge and an ascent can be taxing due to the high altitude. Our steady climb to the expansive summit allows us unrivalled views of Mount Teide, the Las Cañadas National Park and the south-east coast. Our descent is via an old goat-herder trail which leads us into a remote mountain pass, we follow a wild track down the valley and back towards Vilaflor.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch, Full Board: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day #5– Arona – Ifonche - Adeje
Starting once again in Arona, we climb onto the ridge behind Roque del Conde and walk up an old goat herder track towards the village of Ifonche. Along the way we are afforded excellent views and glimpses of the area’s agricultural past. From Ifonche we delve into the pine forests and around the back of the famous Barranco del Infierno (Hell’s Canyon), before emerging on the hillside on the far side of Adeje. We then descend by a long steep rocky path and enjoy a late lunch of Canarian-style chicken in a local restaurant.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch, Full Board: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day #6 – Sombrero de Chasna (2,405m)
The Sombrero de Chasna overlooks the town of Vilaflor and dominates the views of the Las Cañadas Ridge. From the summit we enjoy spectacular views of Vilaflor and the south coast of Tenerife. We press on towards the back of the Las Cañadas Ridge and take in views of Mount Teide and the stunning scenary of the National Park. We return to the Las Lajas Barbeque Area for a late lunch in the pine forests.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch, Full Board: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
