Description
Hop into our 4x4 vehicles and explore Gran Canaria beyond conventional tourist routes. This experience is designed for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and adventure seekers. Accompanied by our expert local driver, we will traverse some of the most authentic corners of the interior: dams, peaks, wild areas, charming villages, and stunning landscapes along secondary roads.
We depart from Maspalomas towards the Barranco de los Lomos de Pedro Alfonso, enjoying spectacular views of the Barranco de Aguineguín, before reaching the Chira Dam, constructed between 1941 and 1944, with the final project completed in 1965, giving it its current appearance. It is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and beautiful civil engineering works in the Canary Islands, a unique landscape on the island, and a protected natural space located within the Gran Canaria Biosphere Reserve.
Next, we continue to the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana to reach its capital, Tunte, where we will visit the old town and its church. Our route will then take us to the Barranco de las Mil Palmeras, passing through the beautiful village of Fataga.
The final stop will be at the spectacular Astronomical Viewpoint of Degollada, offering breathtaking views over the southern coast of the island, the Maspalomas Dunes, and the Barranco de Fataga, known as the 'Grand Canyon of Gran Canaria' due to its depth and extent. From here, we will head back to the hotels, concluding the excursion.
