Villages, viewpoints and volcanic rocks dot Gran Canaria's jagged spine. This tour weaves its way through some of the island's most dramatic landscapes, stopping along the way to visit gems such as Teror, Tejeda and Fataga.
And Teror is where your adventure begins. Strolling past the balconied townhouses of Calle Real de la Plaza towards the mountain-framed basilica of Our Lady of the Pine is one of the defining Gran Canaria experiences. A scenic mountain drive away is Tejeda, which is a bit of a looker itself – red-roofed, whitewashed houses sprinkled on the slope of a valley.
There's also a pit stop at Las Tirajanas viewpoint to admire a vast volcanic caldera, as we make our way to Fataga to eat. A lunch made from locally sourced ingredients will be served in a family-owned restaurant. After a little amble through the town, we'll visit a nearby aloe vera plantation to get the lowdown on its medicinal properties.
Your exact pick up time and place depend on the hotel where you stay at. Please note we offer pick up only from specific hotels in the south part of the island (Meloneras, San Augustin, Puerto Rico). After confirming the booking we will contact you to inform you about the exact pick up time and place. If you haven´t heard from us at least 48 hours before the activity start time, please contact us.

After that we will continue to the Mirador de de las Tirajanas and have a photo stop. Roque Nublo and Roque Bentaiga views will be also available on the way from Tejeda to Fataga.
