Description

What would Columbus must have felt right before he embarked on his journey into the unknown? This unique trip recreates that exact moment in history. As you will be exploring La Gomera, his last stop before heading to America. So, join me, on this unforgettable adventure in the Canary Islands. And hike across La Gomera and Tenerife, two fantastic places only true explorers have dared to walk through.

Our journey will last one week, over which we will unveil an intriguing network of paths and trails. All of them, gently refreshed by the ocean’s breeze. All of them, surrounded by magnificent mountains that seem to be their ancient guardians. And, well beyond the nature wonders we’ll discover, we’ll get to learn about the local culture and try their exquisite cuisine.

Moreover, we will be exploring different and fascinating spots each day. So each day will be its own adventure. Some of the places we will visit are the Garajonay National Park, the National Park of the Cañadas, and the peaks of Anaga and Teno. Also, we’ll explore enchanting forests, beautiful trails and hypnotizing beaches. What’s more, we will hike across many lovely towns and cities, such as San Cristobal de la Laguna, La Orotava and Garachico.

The itinerary is incredibly varied and rich. And you can find more details below. But there’s really not much to be said, other than a sincere recommendation to explore this dreamlike island. So send me a request, and let me guide you across this wonderful place.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
