- 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.

A pleasant hike around the peaks of GC - Really enjoyable hike around the peaks of GC. Maciej was a really friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. I was even waiting at the wrong hotel pickup and it was no bother to come and collect me. Nice as well the tour group was reasonably small so gave us all a chance to talk to each other.
Enjoyed the hiking, a little challenging but not too much, just the right balance. The sights were wonderful and then topped off with a delicious late lunch.

Great hike through beautiful landscape - Can highly recommend this hike. The scenery was beautiful, the hike not too strenuous, and Maciej was a great guide. He kept the mood very relaxed and enjoyable and provided us with lots of interesting information along the entire hike. We had two longer breaks where we could soak up the views and a good lunch after our hike on the way back into town. Bring warm clothing - it was quite chilly, especially in the beginning.

Peaks of Gran Canaria - A well organised and informative day out in the mountains. Terrific views of the coast and Tenerife. Maciej is an experienced guide who steered us clear of crowds and timed it so we escaped the clouds.

Fantastic way to explore Gran Canaria - We really enjoyed our hike with Maciej. He was an excellent guide, regularly stopping throughout the walk to tell us all about the island, the local wildlife and the scenery.
We started walking just after 10am, before it got too hot, with lots of breaks throughout. The scenery was amazing and the lunch at the end was a great end to the day.
If you want to explore the sights of Gran Canaria, I would highly recommend. Thanks again, Maciej!

Peak la Catedral, beautiful trip with nice views - Maclej, is a knowledgeable guide who knows much of the area and its history. With the necessary humor he manages to take the group with him. Nice to see him at lunch so enter the service when it is too busy.

Beautiful mountain walk. - Had a great day! A real hike. Occasionally a bit of scrambling, through the forest and regularly beautiful views. A steady pace was maintained. Really regular stop, where the guide shared interesting information. About flora, fauna and the island.
Recommended for a (occasional) tough walk! Top guide!!!
