This 9-hour hiking tour will take you to the central part of the island, near the highest peak of Gran Canaria – Pico de las Nieves (1957 m above sea level).

Here you'll be amazed by the view of the neighbouring Roque Nublo, the east and south coast of the island and, if the visibility is good, you'll be able to spot Pico de Teide (3718 m above sea level). Enjoy the panorama of the surrounding villages and discover rock formations and forests covered with Canary pine.

After hiking you'll have lunch at a local restaurant where you can try regional dishes such as the mojo and alioli sauces, the famous papas arrugadas and more.

    Wer die landschaftliche Vielfalt von Gran Canaria kennen lernen will, ist hier genau richtig. Der Guide ist super, Abholung war überpünktlich, es gab viel zu sehen. Auf dem Weg zum Gipfel und wieder hinab, wurden bei einigen kurzen Stops, Infos über Pflanzen, Tiere und Ereignisse erzählt. Einzig die Wolken haben an dem Tag den Blick nach Norden der Insel verwehrt. Und der Rat gutes Schuhwerk und eine Regenjacke mitzunehmen sollte ernst genommen werden.

    Meget god guide. En fantastisk flot tur. Lidt krævende terræn, man skal være godt gående.

    The walk scenic and not too challenging with good views on the peaks with the guide some information about the area and the vegetation without overwhelming with it. The meal looked ok but couldn't eat much due to a stomach upset. A good leg stretch after sitting around the pool for a few days

    Unser Guide war sehr engagiert, hatte eine polnische Gruppe und uns zwei Deutsche dabei. Hat alles neben polnisch ausführlich auf deutsch erklärt. Die Tour war der Hitze angepasst nicht zu anstrengend mit sehr vielen Aussichtspunkten. Immer wieder mit Aussicht zum Wahrzeichen Gran Canarias. Meine Frau hatte ihren Pulli im Bus vergessen und unser Guide hat ihn am nächsten Tag bei uns im Hotel abgegeben! Dafür nochmal herzlichen Dank LG Matthias
