Itinerary

Caldera de Bandama

Caldera de Bandama - from a nice viewpoint you will have great views over the island's largest volcanic crater.
Santa Brigida

30 min

Santa Brígida - a small city with a pretty historical center. Due to the water sources the place is surrounded by green areas full of lush vegetation and palm trees. You will walk its lovely streets and have a chance to grab a quick coffee in a typical old coffee shop.
Pico De Las Nieves

20 min

Pico de las Nieves - from the highest peak of the island you will have amazing views over the mountanous countryside. Your photos will be dominated especially by two mysterious rocks in the heart of the island - Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga and if you are lucky, maybe Tenerife island will be visible far on the horizon.

The weather on Gran Canaria is mostly great, but in the unlikely case of bad weather for this stop the day of your tour there might be no views from Pico de las Nieves. If that happens we would try to stop for you in other viewpoints on our drive down to the south of the island, where the weather is usually sunnier.
