★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $239

Hike to a Teide sunset, sip Canarian wine, and stargaze with a private guide on this seven-hour Tenerife mountain tour.

“I couldn’t recommend Javier our guide and the trip enough, it was a really special afternoon and evening. Trips are for those who want to be away from the crowds, for between 1-6 people, we were 4. We hiked up the mountain in daylight to a place where we could watch the moon rise on one side and sunset on the other. There was wine and chocolate 🥰 couldn’t ask for more. We hiked back down by the light of the full moon then stargazed with the help of a telescope. If you’re in Tenerife and like to be away from other people (sorry other people) and immersed in the…”

7.Peña Cortada Private Hiking Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 6 hours · from $65Best value

Review of Valencia’s Peña Cortada hike, with Roman tunnels, Chelva’s old quarters, water trails, guide quality, fitness demands, and value.

“Melchor is an excellent guide! The hike was truly awesome - including mostly natural spaces with fantastic views, a variety of terrains, portions of the aqueduct, many tunnels, lots of blooming wildflowers (in early January), a long stream and a long stretch along a river, caves, some ruins, panoramic views, and a stint through a delightful historic area of Chelva. But be prepared, depending on the trail chosen, for ~25k steps/~10 miles in total, an almost 10 hour day, and ~70 flights climbed. It was a divine and robust excursion! And I’d do it again in a heartbeat… after a couple of days of rest ;) Thank you Melchor for…”
