Without a doubt, the best hiking tour to Roque Nublo Gran Canaria, accompanied by the best team.
Firstly: let us start by telling you that we are a team of three: Inés, Juanjo and our beloved van "Lupita". We are passionate about going out to visit the island and explore all its nooks. We are in love with its people, its landscapes and traditions. So, we are excited to show, to anyone who wants it, all the wonders that are hidden in our "small continent": the island of Gran Canaria. That's our reason to invite you to discover the island with us.
Thus, we have designed a route through our own experience. It is a privilege to have been born here and -after 48 years enjoying the island for ourselves- we know it is time to enjoy it with you. Without commercial stops.
You will spend an unforgettable day discovering every corner of this small continent. The hike to Roque Nublo will blow your mind. You will enjoy to the fullest our local food with local products that we will prepare for you, in the middle of the amazing nature and the peaks of this island.
Last, but not least; all this seasoned with the fantastic history that hides the 14.5 million years of existence of Gran Canaria. You will spend a magical day with all kinds of surprises. Don't think twice and go on an adventure with us!
This is a small group tour, specially designed to discover not only the highlights of Gran Canaria (like Roque Nublo), but also other hidden places not so famous, but full of charm. During this tour, we want to show you this island and the local way of life. Our history, nature, culture and idiosyncrasy.
