Description
We will stay at the comfortable Palm Oasis Maspalomas hotel,
which will be our home for the entire week. Every day, we will travel by
rented 9-seater minibus to some of the most beautiful
locations in Gran Canaria, where we will enjoy carefully selected hikes through
volcanic craters, mountain ridges, pine forests, deep ravines and
along the Atlantic Ocean coast.
During the week, we will discover the island’s diverse landscapes – from the iconic
Roque Nublo rock formation and the highest mountain trails
to the remote Güi Güi beach, which can only
be reached on foot. We will also visit traditional mountain villages,
enjoy local cuisine and dedicate one day to some well-deserved rest.
And most importantly – the trip includes a
direct airBaltic flight from Riga, making the journey
to the island simple and convenient.
November is one of the best months for hiking in Gran Canaria.
Daytime temperatures are usually around 22–26 °C, while in the mountains
it is often a few degrees cooler, creating pleasant conditions
for outdoor activities.
The island’s terrain is extremely diverse, so in a single day you may experience
both a sunny ocean coastline and cooler, cloudier
mountain areas.
Rain is relatively uncommon during this period, but in the mountains it is always recommended
to carry a light rain jacket and an additional warm layer.
We will stay at the comfortable Palm Oasis Maspalomas hotel
with breakfast included. Accommodation will be in twin/double rooms,
providing a comfortable place to relax after each active hiking day.
The hotel is located in one of Gran Canaria’s most popular resorts –
Maspalomas, close to the beach and the famous sand dunes.
In the evenings, there will be opportunities to walk by the ocean, visit restaurants
and cafés, or simply enjoy the warm Canary Islands evenings.
The hotel features several swimming pools, sunbathing areas and everything
needed for a comfortable week-long stay.
A generous breakfast is served at the hotel, while dinner can be enjoyed at one
of the restaurants in the surrounding area. During the hikes, we will eat food brought with us.
