Itinerary
Welcome to the first stop: Caldera de Bandama. This stunning volcanic crater, formed over 5,000 years ago, is one of Gran Canaria’s youngest and best-preserved geological formations.
At Pico de Bandama, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the island from one of its most iconic peaks. The panoramic vista offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the diverse landscapes of Gran Canaria, from rugged mountains to the Atlantic coastline. This stop sets the tone for understanding the natural and geological wonders you'll explore throughout the tour.
Arriving at Cruz de Tejeda, you'll experience a delightful blend of natural beauty and local culture. This high-altitude pass is not only a crossroads of ancient paths but also a hub for local artisans. Here, you'll have the chance to taste traditional Canarian delicacies and, if you wish, purchase some to take home. Additionally, you’ll enjoy incredible views of La Caldera de Tejeda, a collapsed basin that showcases the island's dramatic geological past, making this stop both a cultural and sensory highlight of the tour.
Embark on a hike to Roque Nublo, one of Gran Canaria’s most iconic natural Monument. The trail is approximately 3.5 kilometers round trip, with a moderate incline of around 200 meters. The hike is rated as moderately challenging, suitable for most fitness levels, though it requires a reasonable level of physical fitness due to the rocky terrain. From the top, you will enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscapes, including the Sacred Mountains, which are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Conclude your tour at Pico de Las Nieves, the highest point on the island, where you’ll enjoy a serene sunset over the sea of clouds. This vantage point offers a breathtaking view of the island’s mountainous landscape, including the Caldera de Tirajana, an erosional basin, with the iconic silhouette of Teide in the distance further enhancing the majesty of the view. The peaceful ambiance and stunning scenery provide a perfect end to your day. It’s a moment to reflect on the natural wonders you’ve experienced throughout the tour.

About Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is a round volcanic island in the Atlantic, nicknamed a miniature continent for its dunes, ravines, pine forests and mountain peaks.
Gran Canaria rises from the Atlantic to a rim of peaks, and it has been called a continent in miniature because it holds desert dunes, green valleys and cool forests within a short distance. Las Palmas, on the north-east coast, is the island's capital, with the old quarter of Vegueta, its cathedral and the Casa de Colón, where Columbus is said to have stayed. Las Canteras beach runs for three kilometres along the city.
Top-ranked sights in Gran Canaria: Bandama Caldera (Caldera de Bandama), Roque Nublo, Vegueta.
