Roque Nublo, Route to the Heart of Gran Canaria

Hike through the Gran Canaria's Biosphere Reservation and explore the unique landscape of the Roque Nublo. The Biosphere Reservation covers nearly 40 percent of the island, from mountain tops to beaches and marine areas, aiding in the understanding of the formation and evolution of ocean islands. Remarkable views highlight this Las Palmas tour, ideal for nature lovers and photographers.

This hiking tour begins at El Garañón and follows the border of Caldera de Tejeda. The rim of this volcanic cauldron will lead you through Canary pine trees to La Fogalera. From here, view the dramatic Roque Bentaiga rock formation and Mount Teide. The hike continues to the base of Roque Nublo, a volcanic rock whose peak sits nearly 6,000 feet above sea level. The second highest peak on the island, this unique rock formation is a national monument and a must see for all visitors.

This 8.5 km hike will expose you to the landscape once described as "The Petrified Storm" because of its dramatic and unique shapes. Book today for a breathtaking Las Palmas nature experience unique to Spain.
