Top 10 Hiking Trails in Canary Islands, Canary Islands

March 15, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

The sun-drenched Canary Islands lie close to North Africa and have an exotic flavor of their own. Hundreds of volcanoes, rolling sand dunes, rich forests and rugged cliffs dapple these seven Atlantic gems. Catch a ferry to Lanzarote. Ride a camel through volcanic Timanfaya National Park. Take on Tenerife, home of Mount Teide, Spain's tallest peak. Romp Grand Canary's beaches or hike La Gomera's Garajonay National Park. More adventures await on tiny El Hierro, verdant La Palma and peaceful Fuerteventura.

Ermita de la Pena Trail

Reviewed By amstone_ch - Zurich, Switzerland

This hike is a great way to get to know an other side of Fuerteventura. The path is easy doable, taking approximately 90min. You start just below the Casa de la Naturalezza in Vega de Rio Palmas. Park right of the little bridge that crosses the river. From there direction valley alongside (or most of the time in) the river bank. There are hiking marks on the way. You will exit the river bank after approx. 25 minutes and continue on a gravel paths to the dam. No much water left, but a nice constriction. Continue down the steps and the path until you find a white small chapel. That can be your turning point if you car is in Vega. If not you can continue. There is no other shop or restaurant other than the casa de la naturalezza. So bring water, sun protection and food for your hike.

Montana Chayofita

Reviewed By TatjaK4 - Kuopio, Finland

The climb up is quite steep but since the mountain is not that high, the hike was quite easy. Amazing views from the top to both Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas! The overall trip from the bottom to the top and back does not take that long (About an hour I would say, depending on how long you stay to look at the views) so it is a nice activity. Definitely worth the visit while in Los Cristianos/PDLA!

From los Cristianos bus stop to summit is 7 miles in total. Follow route from photo in review. I jogged it in the hottest part of the day and found it tough. Walking it should be fine for most people. Carry some water and take your time. Some nice views of the surrounding area.

Amazing experience - wonderful views, beautiful nature of the island of Tenerife. The first part along the slope of the abyss, ending at the waterfall along the bottom of the canyon.
