About this activity

Explore Gran Canaria's volcanic interior and indigenous heritage on this 8-hour small-group journey from Maspalomas, combining dramatic geology, pre-Hispanic archaeological sites, local village culture, and coastal swimming. A rare chance to see beyond the resort zone and taste authentic island life.

Embark on an immersive journey into the heart of Gran Canaria's most stunning natural and cultural landscapes. Starting from the panoramic views of the Guriete viewpoint, you will cross the impressive Caldera de Tirajana, a geological wonder shaped by millions of years of volcanic and erosive activity. Delve into the island's aboriginal heritage at La Fortaleza, where ancient caves and sacred sites tell stories of the indigenous Canary Islanders. Enjoy the charm of Santa Lucía de Tirajana, a picturesque village where history and tradition blend seamlessly, offering a taste of local life and gastronomy, including a tasting of locally produced delicacies. Continue your adventure with a hike through the spectacular Las Vacas ravine, a hidden gem with gentle, winding rock formations, and conclude the day with a refreshing swim at the beach in the fishing village of Arinaga.
