The Crater to Coast WalkThree walks that together make-up the long distance Crater to Coast walk starting from the National Parador at the top of the island to the coast at Costa Del Silencio. An extremely varied walk that can be accessed easily by bus at each stage.

Linear Route - 10.5 k 3hours 30 mins
La Centinela to Costa Del Silencio - The third and final section leaves the Mirador La Centinela on it's way to the Coast at Amarilla Golf along old caminos, ancient routes used for transporting goods. From here the coastal path is followed to the finish at Costa Del Silencio via Montana Amarilla. Linear Route - 11k 4 hours All three walks for only 4 euros
Barranco De Las Vegas This walk is not too difficult and although the first hour is all uphill on an at times very stony path, it is a short route. Starting from the sleepy hamlet of Las Vegas, it follows stony tracks and paths into the Barranco de Las Vegas. The countryside is extremely peaceful and the only sounds you are likely to hear will be the cry of buzzards wheeling high above the barranco and the sound of your own breath as you puff and pant up the hills. The barranco itself is scenically impressive and on clear days the views are superb with excellent views to Guajara, the coast, Gran Canaria and into the barranco itself. As this is a fairly short route, you can take your time just enjoying the peace and solitude of the walk. Circular Route - 6.5k 2.5 hours Only 2 euros
Montaña Colorada
The Deserted Village
Southern Landscapes A three walk package of interlinking walks enabling you to create a long, full day by combining two or just do them one at a time for three days of superb walking. All three routes are between 3.5 to 4 hours.
Vilaflor Circular - Vilaflor, is a beautiful, traditional Canarian village and this route starts from the pretty square in the centre of the village before heading out into the Ifonché region. The initial part of the walk is a pleasant walk through pine forests and vineyards, before these are left behind as the route climbs steeply through remote hills back to Vilaflor on the GR131 European route. Circular Route - 12k 4 hours
Ifonche Circular - Remote walk in the Ifonche region with superb views of the surrounding mountains, pine forests and coast. The walk eventually follows the GR131 European route back into the village of Ifonche alongside the impressive Barranco Del Rey. Circular route - 9.5k 3hours 30 mins. (linear alternative 4.5 hours)

All Three Walks for Only 4 euros
Roque De Jama
Roqué de Jama, at 760 metres above sea level, looms over Valle San Lorenzo like some huge prehistoric monster. Visible from the southern resorts, this walk is an excellent mountain excursion that can be fitted into a half-day as an antidote for those desperate to escape the sun, sea and sangria of the coast for a short spell. The walk leaves the high street in Valle San Lorenzo and initially follows steep, rural roads before leaving the tarmac for the climb to the summit. The going up to the summit is often very steep and tricky and the path difficult to find. The exposure on the summit will not suit vertigo sufferers. Circular Route - 6k 2hours 40 mins Only 2 euros
