4) The best of Gran Canaria
As we have been explaining to you on other occasions, Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands in general are known as miniature island-continents due to the number of contrasts that you can find in their landscapes, as well as their different microclimates. On this private tour you will be taken to the peaks of the island to go from its most similar landscapes to the Far West, to its Canarian pine forests. The first stop is in the Fataga ravine and its beautiful town (with the option to visit an ecological aloe vera plantation).
After visiting Fataga, the route continues ascending to the summit of Gran Canaria, stopping at the town of San Bartolomé (Tunte) and finally at Cruz de Tejeda. Keep in mind that the route by car involves crossing mountain roads with many curves, not suitable for all audiences. Likewise, the route can be extended by hiking to Roque Nublo and/or visiting a winery at more than 1000 meters above sea level with a tasting of 3 wines (see conditions and supplement).

If this is your first time in Gran Canaria, you cannot miss the incredible Maspalomas Dunes and the small fishing village of Puerto de Mogán.
