Embark on a journey to the heart of Gran Canaria with the Volcano Heart Tour, where nature is at its grandest and culture is rich and unique! From the stunning Caldera de Bandama to the zenith at Pico de Las Nieves, we invite you to explore volcanic landscapes that inspire awe and enduring Canarian traditions. Admire iconic rock formations such as Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, pillars of the island’s fascinating geology.

Imagine standing at the island’s highest point, watching the sun set and stain the sky with colours, while beneath, a majestic sea of clouds unfolds. At this crossroads of natural beauty and cultural heritage, enjoy unique wines and local delicacies, whether surrounded by the tranquil pines of Llano de la Pez or in the cosy atmosphere of Tajinaste Restaurant. Explore the essence of the island with short walks that reveal the secrets of its territory, reminding you that Gran Canaria is much more than its sunny coasts.

The Volcano Heart Tour concludes, the vibrant tones of sunset from Pico de Las Nieves provide the perfect backdrop to view the Teide mountain on the neighbouring island of Tenerife. Returning with stories yet to be told, you’ll realize that Gran Canaria is not just a destination, it’s a miniature continent.

Itinerary Heart of the Volcano Tour in Gran Canaria with Hotel Pick-Up

TEJEDA / CALDERA DE BANDAMA

We will start the adventure at 14:00. At our first stop, immerse yourself in the geological wonders of the island by visiting this impressive crater, a testament to the volcanic legacy of Gran Canaria.

CRUZ DE TEJEDA

Head to the geographical centre of the island, where ancient royal paths intertwine with modern hiking trails. The panoramic views offer a fascinating glimpse into the interior and the western side of the island. Don’t miss the local market stalls featuring typical Tejeda products.

TASTING OF LOCAL PRODUCTS

Enjoy a tasty sampling of local products, including a glass of wine, at the Los Llanos de La Pez Recreational Area. If the weather does not cooperate, the tasting will take place at El Restaurante Tajinaste, where we can savor the delicious dishes sheltered by the Rural Hotel El Refugio.

ROQUE NUBLO

Dive deeper into the heart of Gran Canaria with a walk through the Nublo Rural Park. The island’s iconic symbols – El Fraile, La Rana, and of course, Roque Nublo – stand imposingly over a lunar landscape, narrating stories of times past.

SUNSET OVER THE SEA OF CLOUDS

The climax of our journey comes at this point, at the zenith of Gran Canaria you will witness an unparalleled sunset. With views that stretch to Roque Bentayga and even Pico del Teide in Tenerife, it is a visual spectacle that will be etched in your memory.

*PLEASE NOTE: It is strongly recommended to bring a jacket and raincoat if available. If the weather does not permit the hike to Roque Nublo, the guide will modify the itinerary to offer an alternative route with better conditions (Roque Bentayga / Charco de La Paloma).
