We invite you to immerse yourself in an unforgettable adventure through Gran Canaria, exploring some of its most spectacular and historic corners. Our new tour will not only take you to discover breathtaking landscapes, but will also connect you deeply with the aboriginal Canarian culture and natural heritage of the island. Each stop will surprise you with its beauty and cultural significance.

We start our tour at the Arinaga Salt Flats, located in the municipality of Agüimes. These salt pans have their origins in the 19th century and are a fascinating example of the ancient technique of salt production, which has been recovered to preserve this fundamental part of the island's heritage. The coastal scenery in this area is simply spectacular, and walking among the salt pans will give you an insight into the importance of this resource to both the economy and the local ecosystem.

Next, we will stop at the North Coast, an ideal place for photography lovers. The panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from this area are unparalleled. The cliffs and rock formations along the coast provide the perfect backdrop for photographs that capture the majesty of the landscape. Here, nature unfolds in all its strength and beauty.

Then we head to the Cenobio de Valerón, an ancient granary carved out of volcanic rock by the aboriginal Canary Islanders. This impressive archaeological site is one of the most fascinating examples of pre-Hispanic engineering. Used as a communal storehouse, it is believed to have once housed thousands of tons of grain. A visit to this site will allow you to step back in time and learn about the ways of life of the island's ancient inhabitants.

The journey continues to the Cueva Pintada in Gáldar, a veritable archaeological treasure trove of pre-Hispanic rock art. This museum and archaeological park is fundamental for understanding the culture of the ancient Canary Islanders, who left their vision of the world on the walls of this cave. It is also one of the most important examples of cultural heritage conservation in the Canary Islands.

For those who wish to indulge in the local cuisine, we will make an optional stop in Agaete, a picturesque coastal village famous for its gastronomy. Here you will have the opportunity to sample some of the island's most traditional dishes while enjoying an unparalleled view of the sea. The cuisine in Agaete is famous for using fresh, local ingredients, guaranteeing an authentic culinary experience.

This tour is designed for those looking for an experience that combines nature, history and culture. Book your place today and discover the best of Gran Canaria through this immersion into its cultural and natural heritage - get ready for a unique adventure!
