Activity description

Discover the Red Canyon full day hiking tour through the volcanic calderas with the best legends and stories of the island of Gran Canaria.

Gran Canaria is probably the best known island of the Canary Islands. It has a varied offer of outdoor activities, incredible land landscapes where you can go hiking and trekking. Do you want to know more about it? Join us on this exclusive 8-hour excursion and go back in time by visiting various archaeological sites of the ancient aboriginal civilisation of Gran Canaria.

More than just a scenic tour, this is your ticket to discover the deep stories and wonders of an island sculpted by time. Be awed by the grandeur of the reddish cliffs surrounding the Caldera del Territorio in Gran Canaria. The heart of adventure, Santa Lucía de Tirajana, awaits you, where an oasis of palm trees becomes your sanctuary for leisurely explorations. Here, the chronicles of history unfold in the aboriginal caves of La Fortaleza, a celestial observatory of yesteryear.

On this excursion we will take you to the top of the island to get to know the incredible Caldera de Tirajana and the historical side of Santa Lucia by visiting La Fortaleza, one of the last refuges of the aboriginal population. Visit with us the mythical Barranco de Las Tobas and feel like a real adventurer, and finally, enjoy the acclaimed Salinas de Tenefé or the aboriginal coastal village of Tufia.

Sites bien choisis malgré l'impossibilité de faire le red canyon. Juste en lisant le descriptif, nous pensions faire plus de marche à pied.
