POC – Permanent Orienteering Courses in Canary Islands
What is a POC (Permanent Orienteering Course)?
We offer you the opportunity of practicing orienteering in some of permanent circuits in the Canary Islands, being able to make courses with different levels and know about the cultural, heritage and tourist values of the different municipalities.
Orientación Canarias invites you to get to know the most beautiful corners of these municipalities of the Canary Islands completely free of charge, at any time, choosing the course that best suits your level and with the option of using a mobile APP (iOrienteering) that allows you to verify the control and know your time.
You can select the municipality where you would like to practise orienteering and get the information about each course, technical details, location, characteristics and you will be able to download the maps completely free of charge.
