Aimed at becoming a \u201cmust go-to\u201d event in the European hiking calendar, the Tenerife Walking Festival 2017 will feature two new volcanic routes on its programme. All 20 routes, which vary in length and intensity, are grouped into three categories (volcanic, coastal and green paths) to showcase Tenerife\u2019s striking diversity of landscapes. Some of the most popular walks are the ones which go through two of the island\u2019s UNESCO-listed sites: the volcanic Teide National Park (World Heritage) and the green Anaga Rural Park (Biosphere Reserve).\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Also new for this year, the festival will include an innovative system for calculating each participant\u2019s environmental footprint and how to offset it by means of activities that contribute to conserving the protected spaces on the island, such as reforestation.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the hikes, there will be an array of supporting activities taking place in the northern town of Puerto de la Cruz, the festival\u2019s headquarters, every evening. These include food fairs to sample the tasty local food, a stargazing session in the Teide National Park and a relaxing swim in one of the island\u2019s natural volcanic pools, amongst others. A spectacular parade of flags will also delight participants on the last day of the walking extravaganza.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
