Uncover the most photogenic corners of southern Gran Canaria on this National Geographic Day Tour.
Your adventure begins in the village of Temisas, famed for its olive oil. Wander the narrow lanes lined with white houses with Arabic tiles, then discover the town square and capture traditional architecture. Next up is the hilltop village and authentic Canarian town of Tunte. Explore the charming streets, from the old washing places to the 19th-century fountain of El Rosal. Observe the details of a tile oven, original cobblestone paths, traditional houses, and the Casa Canaria de Tunte – a tribute to the ancient Canaries.
As you will soon discover, Canarian villages are characterized by white-washed houses which can be dazzling in the bright sunshine. The photographer will give you valuable tips for making the most of the abundant light for great photos even in these conditions. Explore the villages at your own pace, taking snaps of the unique corners that appeal to you. There's plenty of potential subjects in these photogenic and typical Canarian villages.
Climb to El Polvo viewpoint with its striking rock formation. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the village and capture versatile images that tell its captivating story. The final stop is the sleepy hamlet of Fataga. Traverse the winding streets before gazing upon the striking stone massifs that flank the village.
Finally, enjoy a spectacular drive down the mountain looking out to Meloneras and Maspalomas. View the imposing humpbacked sand dunes in the distance as you make your way to a local restaurant. Here, you'll review the photos and recap the experience over a well-earned lunch, after which the winning photograph will be revealed.

Abholung am Hotel hat gut geklappt. Der begleitende Fotograf sprach nur Spanisch, aber die Tourbegleitung hat gut übersetzt. Wir haben in den kleinen, fotogenen Orten reichlich Motive gesehen und neue Impulse für unsere Art des Fotografierens bekommen. Der Mittagsimbiss war für uns genau richtig: kein dickes Menü, sondern typischen Käse, Schinken, gegrillte Paprika ....

Intressant att se byarna uppe i bergen. Bra förklaringar och historiska berättelser om bakgrund. Bra tips på vad man ska tänka på när man fotograferar.

Flyveturen hjem var ikke nogen god oplevelse, da man ikke havde sørget for tilstrækkelig flybrændstof, det er noget som ikke må ske.

Wij apprecieerden vooral het « kleinschalige » karakter van de tour: kleine groep (4 dlnrs en 3 begeleiders), geen wachttijden, geen « massa-toerisme » gevoel. Los daarvan hebben we het binnenland van GC ontdekt, wat best mooi was, en dingen geleerd over fotografie die ik nog lang zal onthouden… Heel vriendelijke begeleiders ook !

Die Guide’s waren spitze, die Tipps für das Fotografieren waren sehr hilfreich und gut. Maria ist eine tolle Tour Leiterin. Die besuchten Orte waren sehr interessant, leider etwas zu wenig Zeit um auf eigene Faust noch etwas mehr zu erkunden.

Maria, César und der Fahrer waren ein absolutes Dream Team! Einer der besten und informativsten Touren die wir jemals gemacht haben. Ein echtes Highlight! Nochmal vielen Dank an die Drei
