Treasures of Gran Canaria (From Las Palmas city)

Description

A personalized, exclusive, and enjoyable excursion that allows you to discover the southern area of the island, as well as three of the most valued and representative places in Gran Canaria.

During our 7-hour guided tour, you will explore three of the island’s most emblematic locations: two protected natural areas of great environmental value and the elegant Puerto de Mogán, along with the entire southern surroundings of Gran Canaria.

Our guides are trained professionals, specifically prepared to interact with our clients and interpret each stage of the excursion, turning every outing into a unique and enriching experience. To ensure this, we operate with small groups of up to 25 people.

Our first stop is a magical place: the Guayadeque Valley, whose name means “place where the water runs.” The small stream that winds through the valley is the only constant natural water source that flows year-round on the island. The entire area is declared a Natural Monument, a protected zone where no new construction is allowed except for the existing structures, such as in Los Marteles—a settlement of cave houses, including a chapel and an exotic restaurant, all carved into the rock walls of the ravine. Truly astonishing!

We then continue to Puerto Mogán, a former fishing village transformed into one of the most elegant and charming tourist areas in the south. Here, fishing boats, yachts, and leisure vessels blend together in a picturesque setting. Completing the scenery is a fine white-sand beach and a pedestrian area built along small water canals, enhancing the charm of this maritime neighborhood filled with gardens, shops, and restaurants.

In Puerto Mogán, you will have one hour of free time to enjoy lunch (not included), go for a swim, or simply stroll around.

Finally, we will visit the exceptional Special Nature Reserve of the Maspalomas Dunes: 400 hectares that encompass a magnificent beach, a field of living organic sand dunes, a palm grove, and a saltwater lagoon of great environmental value, serving as a migratory bird stopover.

We will accompany you to the Maspalomas Lighthouse and La Charca, sharing insights about this unique ecosystem. Afterwards, you will have free time to enjoy the dunes and take a refreshing swim at the beach.A personalized, exclusive and enjoyable excursion to discover the southern part of the island, as well as three of the most valued and representative places in Gran Canaria.
