Highlights

A naturalists paradise, the climate in Tenerife is so perfect for wild flowers, butterflies and birdlife that our walks are an explosive celebration of colour: at sea level, swaying banana palms contrast with yellow cacti, while inland hibiscus and geraniums adorn traditional white villages.

Holiday introduction

  • Elegant yet intimate family-run **** hotel: heated swimming pool, beautiful courtyard, innovative and creative cuisine
  • Great value, fully inclusive holiday - even wine with dinner
  • Soaring volcanic cliffs, snow-capped Mount Teide, stunning ocean views
  • Paradise for ornithologists, botanists and geologists; perfect climate for out-of-season walking
  • Lovely Garachico replete with C17 palaces, grand houses, shady squares and colourful fishing port

This holiday introduces you to to the little-known Isla Baja a totally unknown area whose historic culture has been rigorously respected, and where authentic towns and villages proudly guard the wild beauty of its mountains and coast. Accompanied by expert Headwater guide, Neil Flynn, you'll get to explore the very best that this north-western corner has to offer, from lush terraced valleys to panoramic seascapes, and from cool pine forests to soaring volcanic cliffs. The walking is mainly along the ancient trails which still link tiny whitewashed villages and towns, where local fiestas and colourful celebrations remain hugely important to everyday life.

Formerly a C18 nobleman's mansion and listed building, the exquisitely stylish **** San Roque Hotel is our base for this 2-boot guided walking holiday. Located on the edge of the Teide National Park, and just a stone's throw from the old port and cobbled streets of Garachico, it boasts just 20 beautifully appointed air-conditioned rooms and suites, each equipped with Jacuzzi bath, satellite TV/ video, DVD and CD player. There is a heated swimming pool, lovely courtyard, sauna and library. Chef Pep Nogue is renowned locally for his creative use of natural and first class organic ingredients, and his elegant dining room conveys tradition and history, alongside contemporary design and original modern art.
