This 9-hour hiking tour will take you to the central part of the island, near the highest peak of Gran Canaria – Pico de las Nieves (1957 m above sea level).

Here you'll be amazed by the view of the neighbouring Roque Nublo, the east and south coast of the island and, if the visibility is good, you'll be able to spot Pico de Teide (3718 m above sea level). Enjoy the panorama of the surrounding villages and discover rock formations and forests covered with Canary pine.

After hiking you'll have lunch at a local restaurant where you can try regional dishes such as the mojo and alioli sauces, the famous papas arrugadas and more.

Remember to bring:

Mountain clothing or sportswear

From October to March, the weather can vary more easily, and rainfalls are usually more frequent (trips during rainy days are generally avoided, but sometimes the weather can be a surprise). Warm clothing with long sleeves as well as long trousers and, just in case, a rain jacket which can also serve as a windstopper are strongly recommended
Considering the fact that dinner in the restaurant is at about 2.30 pm and that everyone has individual preferences, you can take a light meal of your own, for example: fruits, energy bars, almonds, biscuits, sandwiches, etc.
