Do you know how many tourists visit Las Palmas every year without really getting to know it? Most stay on the surface. Not you. In 90 minutes aboard your tuk-tuk, we open the doors to the most historic and secret neighborhoods of the city, those corners with centuries of Canarian history that don't appear in the brochures and that only locals know. It all starts in Triana, next to San Telmo Park: modernist architecture, local commerce, and an energy that grabs you from the first moment. And before you know it, you are in front of the imposing Mata Castle—a fortress that has guarded the island's secrets for centuries and has much more to tell you than you imagine.

2Vegueta
And then you arrive in Vegueta, and you understand why this neighborhood is declared a Historic Monument. Every street, every facade, every cobblestone has a story to tell. The San Antonio neighborhood and the fascinating Canarian Museum—with one of the most important archaeological collections in the entire archipelago—will reveal to you who the first inhabitants of these islands were and how they lived before the world discovered them. But the best is yet to come. The Cathedral of Santa Ana appears before you with all its majesty: its square, its doves, and its local atmosphere will invite you to stop time and photograph every detail. And just when you think it can't be surpassed... the Schamann Viewpoint. A panoramic view of the city and the Atlantic that will leave you speechless — and with the best photos from the whole trip.

3Doramas Park
And to close, like only the Canary Islands know how to do... The tuk tuk takes you through the lush Doramas Park—a green oasis in the middle of the city—and through the elegant neighborhood of Ciudad Jardín, where the stately architecture and tranquility of its streets will remind you that Las Palmas has many faces, and all deserve to be discovered. The final stop is the historic Hotel Santa Catalina: an icon of the island that has welcomed kings, artists, and travelers from all over the world. The perfect place to close a route that connects past and present in a way no other transport can offer you. History, photography, Canarian culture... all in 90 minutes. Everything in a tuk tuk. Everything in Las Palmas.
