What to expect?
Our excursion offers you to discover the great green heart of Gran Canaria, an island called “a miniature continent “, because of the tremendous contrast of its habitat and landscapes. The northern midlands never cease to amaze you, green meadows, cultivated areas, forests, natural parks, mountains, breathtaking viewpoints, and hidden villages.
Our full-day island tour presents a full itinerary visiting the towns of Aruca, San Bartolomé, and Firgas; enjoy lunch(at your own expense) in Valleseco and admire places like the **Cruz de Tejeda and Roque Nublo.**.
Itinerary
Passing through and admiring extensive fields of almond trees and different crops, we will pass through the village Vecindario and the town of Telde, heading for the first stop, the charming village of Arucas with its magnificent **Neogothic Church from the 15th century**, one of the enclaves in the heart of the island of Gran Canaria. Next, we will stop in the village of Firgas, known as the “balcony of the Atlantic” for its fantastic panoramic views. We will also enjoy its beautiful waterfalls, located in the middle of the old town, and the pedestrian area of the Paseo de las Islas Canarias.
Once on the summits, we stop at a restaurant in the Valleseco area for lunch (*optional, not included in the price). After lunch, we continue the route through protected natural areas and mountains with incredible views. We will stop at the viewpoint of Cruz de Tejeda, and we will stop at Roque Nublo, the symbol of Gran Canaria, with magnificent views (weather permitting) of Teide, the highest mountain in Spain located on the island of Tenerife.
Before finishing the route, we will go down to San Bartolomé de Tirajana with its impressive views of Santa Lucía, and to finish the day we will make a stop at the Aloe Vera farm, and return to the hotel.
