The trip

Gran Canaria is not only an island full of beaches, it is also an island with plenty of valleys and mountains and with good weather most of the year. Gran Canaria is like a continent at a small scale and in the middle of the ocean, with a mix of ingredients that make it the perfect place for hiking.

The Unesco has declared it a Biosfhere Reserve.

We invite you to discover this wonder full of forests, dunes, volcanoes and palm groves. A wild nature full of contrasts, considered one of the most valuable ecosystems in the world.

Travel to Gran Canaria to know, along beautiful paths, the solitary and gorgeous mountains and the valleys of the island.
