“Highly recommend the Tajogaite hike, it was an experience to remember. We were a small group of 8 and we were very lucky to have Juan as our guide. He was knowledgeable, down to earth and provided great information about the area and the island as a whole during the hike. His English was great and we had a fantastic time during the 4h hike. A taxi picked us up from the tourist office to the start of the hike. The hike was not hard, but do bring a jacket as the weather changes rapidly.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 295 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $53

Walk through Málaga’s Gaitanes Gorge on a guided 3.5-hour route above the Guadalhorce River. You’ll meet at Restaurante El Kiosko, walk about 20 minutes to the entrance, then follow the rebuilt cliffside path with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide. Bring ID, water, and proper hiking shoes. The route is thrilling, but not suited to people with vertigo.

“Amazing walk, stunning views and landscape. If you can do this long walk it is well worth it, however, other tour groups appeared to be getting far more information stops and our guide had no interest in keeping the group together, she was unconcerned about the slower members of the group. It’s not advertised as a walk which has to be completed in a certain time, but the pace was quick. I have always been led to believe that a group such as this should go at pace of slowest walker, not the case here. Members at back of group could have been struggling and guide would have had no…”

“Fantastic experience! So pleased that my boyfriend and I chose Etna Tours to go with! This excursion was fantastic value for money, and what an incredible experience looking down into the craters of Europe’s most active volcano to see it spewing molten lava! They provided walking boots, jackets, helmets and walking sticks. We were able to pay the additional €33pp for the cable cars and 4x4 bus on card. The hike was relatively difficult but we took it at a nice gentle pace and every direction you looked the views were breathtaking. Because we were lucky enough to have such good visibility out guide took us over the centre of…”

Mexico City: Guided Volcano Trek with Lunch

15.Mexico City: Guided Volcano Trek with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 242 reviews · 9 hours · from $105

Leave Mexico City with a small group and hike through Iztaccihuatl-Popocatepetl National Park, starting at Paso de Cortes and climbing toward Cerro Altzomoni. Your English or Spanish guide may point out fumaroles, volcanic rock, plants, and wildlife before a market lunch. The route can reach about 13 km, and high altitude makes it harder than the trail itself suggests.

“Beautiful hike surrounded by Volcanoes and meadows! Our guide Alan was excellent! He prepared each person with a sandwich , drinks and snacks that you eat overlooking Popo Volcanoe. Beautiful ! We finished up on the ride back to MC with some amazing tacos and a Cafe de Olla, traditional Mexican coffee. Was great to explore the wonderful nature so close to the city and enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you Alan for a lovely day !”
