Voyage highlights 01202 767926 Gran Canaria This island is known for its beaches. Playa de las Canteras, with over two miles of shoreline offers gentle aquamarine waters and a beautiful promenade, while Playa de Maspalomas features picturesque sand dunes and historic 19th century lighthouse. One of Gran Canaria’s greatest cultural treasures is the Cueva Pintada (Painted Cave), an archaeological museum and park that displays artefacts from the island’s original inhabitants. Don’t leave without seeing Roque Nublo (“Clouded Rock”), with spectacular views from the top. Tenerife The main attraction of this unique island is the Parque del Teide, a national park which contains the spectacular Mount Teide, rising 12,200ft high. Any of the 20 different hiking trails will take you past unusual, almost otherworldly rock formations and colourful lava deposits. After experiencing this natural wonder, head to Santa Cruz de Tenerife to mingle with the locals and take in a concert or opera at the Auditorio de Tenerife. La Palma Nature lovers will favour this island, a biosphere reserve with its main attraction the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. This park has it all: volcanic peaks, dramatic waterfalls, gentle streams, and placid groves. The El Paso Visitors Centre will help you choose a trail based on what you want to see most. Lanzarote The most surreal of the Canary Islands features the Timanfaya National Park, a geothermal environment that resembles the moon’s cratered surface, and can only be visited on a guided tour due to its unpredictable terrain. Temperatures just below ground can reach 1,100°F, and you won’t forget watching a steam geyser spontaneously erupt when your guide tosses water down a hole in the ground. tional Park, Lanzarote Lanzarote Auditorio de Tenerife Madeira Playa de Maspalomas, Gran Canaria Caldera de Taburiente National Park, La Palma
