- In the period from April to September, rainfall is low, the temperature even in the highest part of the mountains is around 22 degrees, reaching up to 26 degrees in June, July and August. The T-shirt usually fits us well, but it is always good to wear long-sleeved clothing.
- The months of October to March are a variable period of time and more frequent rains (we always try to avoid carrying out our excursions during rainy days, but sometimes the weather can surprise us). It is recommended (during the mandatory cold days) warm clothing with long sleeves (pants, polartec) and a waterproof jacket that can work perfectly as a windbreaker.
- In case of force majeure that prevents the excursion from continuing or endangers the health or life of the excursion participants (weather conditions, etc.), the organizer reserves the right to modify the route or change it to another / another date, or cancel it.
- Recommended minimum age for children: 8 years.
- Considering that our lunch at the restaurant will be around 3:30 p.m. and your own way of eating, you can bring a light meal on your own, for example (fruits, energy bars, almonds, cookies, etc.). sandwich etc)
- During the summer period (from 1 July to 31 August) hiking trips are not organized.

Recommended - The tour was well arranged. Picked up on time, a small group, safe ride to the destination, explanations on the way about flora, fauna and the villages we drove through, intermediate stops during the walk and 2 longer breaks which made it easy to keep up. Nature is beautiful and versatile, a welcome change from the tourist and busy spots on the island. Maciej has an eye for everyone and gives fascinating explanations about the surroundings. Lunch was well arranged and something for everyone. Enjoyed this day!

Great results with hiking guide Maciej - Very nice tour. Pick-up times perfectly organized. Hiking along changing hiking trails...7km about 300 meters altitude, not too strenuous. Great views of Roque Nublo and Pico de las Nievas. Break at the highest point of the day tou on the El Campanrio 1917m.
At the end of the hike a menu with good selection, a leisurely stop in a restaurant with a view.

Great experience not to be missed - Top experience. Maciej is a great and knowledgable guide. Distance and pace all about right. We were lucky to get good weather but it can be cold so take layers.
If you stay at sea level you could be fooled into thinking Gran Canaria is all volcanic rock. Walking in the pine forests on the peaks with wonderful views is not to be missed.

Great trekking with reliable and committed guide - It concerns trekking around the peaks of Gran Canaria. A very positive experience. The guide, Maciej, was committed and very attentive to the participants. He communicated with the group in three languages: English, German, and Polish, and was also fluent in Spanish, which he used outside the group. Everyone could easily understand all the information. The pace of the trekking was well-adapted to the participants, with regular breaks, and the route wasn't particularly challenging. The guide also shared information about the local fauna and flora. The views were worth seeing. Lunch was correct, with options to choose from (the fish was large, neither too dry nor 'swimming' in oil). Maciej also drove the van; the ride was balanced and safe. I do recommend without hesitation.
