Gran Canaria: Highlights & hidden gems by 2 local guides

We are Inés & Juanjo, 2 authentic native guides who will show you Gran Canaria from a unique and genuine point of view.

So, if you want to get to know Gran Canaria and our way of life, then we invite you to discover our origins with us.

Gran Canaria has an amazing historical, archaeological and cultural heritage and is an important Biosphere Reserve.

On this tour, which combines breathtaking views and scenery with adventure, culture, local picnic and many other activities, you'll be able to experience Gran Canaria uniquely.

We will start our journey in Maspalomas. When we start, we will give you a picnic bag (sandwich, chocolate bar, fruit and bottle of water) so you can use it whenever you want at any of the stops.

Our first stop will be Degollada de la Yegua, from where you will discover the spectacular landscape of the valley of 1.000 palm trees.

We will drive through this incredible valley, enjoying the combination of farmlands and forests while we climb to the summits of Gran Canaria. During this scenic drive, we will stop in several places to enjoy the views and take some pictures.

In Tejeda, which is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, you will have free time to discover this charming place on your own; so you can visit the church and take a walk to enjoy the typical Canarian architecture, go to the Unesco & Biosphere Reserve centre, enjoy a coffee and typical almond sweets in any of its cafés, or just relax with the astonishing views of the "petrified storm".

We will continue our journey to get to Pico de las Nieves, the highest point in Gran Canaria, where you will see a 360ºC view of Gran Canaria, including Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, Maspalomas Dunes, and some other islands.

It is time to descend, We will go through the East side of the island to observe some completely different volcanic landscapes. We will stop at Caldera de los Marteles to discover an ancient volcanic crater and different flora.

Finally, we will visit Agüimes, a beautiful village full of local life and culture, to see the beautiful church, the full coloured streets, sculptures and more.

We will finally drive back to Maspalomas at the same places in which we picked you.
