Senda Ecoway

Mountain and tourist guides in Gran Canaria with walking and cycling routes; on Mondays from October to May they climb Roque Nublo from La Culata.

Senda Ecoway is a Gran Canaria company that organises guided walking and cycling routes. It is registered as a travel agency and as an active-tourism company in the Canary Islands for hiking, trekking, mountaineering and cycle touring.

The Roque Nublo route

In the summit area, its fixed outing is the guided tour to Roque Nublo, every Monday from October to May. It does not leave from the Degollada de La Goleta, the short, regulated access, but from the hamlet of La Culata, at the bottom of the Tejeda caldera. It is about 8 km with 350 metres of climb and as much descent, through Canary pine forest and volcanic landscape, to the rock. The website says from €49.

It includes a qualified mountain and tourist guide, activity insurance, water and a snack. The routes are given in Spanish, English or French. They ask you to book at least three days ahead.

Before booking

The listing gives two different durations, about three hours in one place and four to six hours in another, and does not say exactly where you meet or whether transport is included. Ask when you book, together with the minimum age, which it does not publish either.

What they run

The Geocalia activities run by Senda Ecoway, with the prices and terms they publish.

Independent companies: you book with them, on their terms. Prices are as they publish them and may change.
