What to expect

Gran Canaria, often referred to as the miniature continent, offers diverse landscapes and cultures. This tour invites you to explore the heart of the island, ascending its high mountains and delving into the history of the Sacred Mountains — a place of prayer for ancestors and now part of UNESCO's heritage.

The journey begins in Teror, where you can visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Pine. From there, a scenic bus ride transports you to spectacular lookouts, mountain vistas, and the village of Artenara. Perched nearly 1300 metres above sea level, this village provides an opportunity to visit a cave museum and the Interpretation Centre of Risco Caído. Here, you'll gain insights into how the Canarian aborigines tracked celestial bodies like the stars, moon, and sun.

Following this exploration, the town of Tejeda awaits with its renowned almond production. Here, you can savour lunch at your own expense before unwinding ahead of your return journey to your hotel in the capital. This tour offers a blend of natural beauty, history, and local culture.
