Caballero Caves

Highlight • Cave

The caves of the Knight consist of seven cavities, but six of them are artificial. It is possible that in ancient times they were used as cave houses. Today they are closed with bars.

Montaña de Artenara

Highlight • Summit

One of our best tours in Gran Canaria. The advantage is also that you do not need a car but can use Guagua both to Cruz de Tejeda and from Artenara back to Las Palmas

Spectacular panoramic hike along the crater rim of the Tejeda caldera.
From Cruz de Tejeda, the trail initially climbs a fairly steep but short section to the crater rim. This beautiful trail leads through pine forests and along the crater rim, offering breathtaking views of the opposite crater rim, Tejeda, Roque Nublo, and Bentaygo.
In Artenara, we hiked through a …

For us, this was an absolute highlight. Anyone planning only one or two hikes in the island's interior should definitely consider this one.

The entire hike offers magnificent views and countless picnic spots. However, you should choose a day with a forecast of good visibility and only scattered clouds. Otherwise, you'll be hiking in the fog.

Apart from a small steep climb right at the beginning, the path is quite easy and easy to walk. There is alternation of …

Only a short stage today, as the existing infrastructure did not allow it otherwise and I did not want to spend a night on the ⛺️. But it will be a long one tomorrow.
