What you will be doing
At the first stop, you can enjoy stunning views of La Fortaleza Ruins and the Caldera de Tirajana at an impressive viewpoint
Dive into the charm of a village with pristine white houses nestled amongst palm trees. Explore its deep-rooted history, intrinsically linked to olive cultivation and beekeeping. The tales of ancient inhabitants still echo through its vibrant streets and its welcoming community.
After basking in the view, we'll delve into La Fortaleza. It's one of the last known dwellings of the island's ancient inhabitants. This nexus, where the sky meets the earth, will enable you to connect with the aboriginal culture, transporting you back in time
Inside a typical Canarian restaurant in Santa Lucía, a gastronomic delight awaits. Here, indulge in a tasting of fresh fruit and other Zero-KM products. Furthermore, you can marvel at Canarian crafts and structures made from natural resources
Picturesque Walk: Immerse yourself in a journey through one of Gran Canaria's narrowest ravines. The mark of water's erosion that once coursed here paints landscapes that are truly breathtaking. A quaint yet captivating walk through history and nature awaits
Conclude your day with a refreshing swim. Depending on the day's traffic and overall pacing, the guide decides between Tufia or Arinaga. Tufia: End your day with a rejuvenating swim in the fishing village of Tufia, which offers a beach with black volcanic sand. Here, you can explore coastal caves and experience the magic of the clear waters. Arinaga: Alternatively, we might visit Arinaga, a scenic coastal town. Although it lacks the black sandy beaches of Tufia, it provides beautiful spots for a refreshing swim. Enjoy its picturesque seafront promenade and soak in the natural beauty.

climboWe were born from the dream of sharing with everyone who touches the Canarian land, the beauty of this incomparable place. At Climbo, our commitment to sustainable development is key to all activities we carry out, especially in sensitive areas such as rural environments, natural spaces, and protected parks. We have a regenerative tourism strategy to ensure that our activities not only do not damage the environment but also contribute to its regeneration and protection. We do so by carrying out actions to reduce invasive species, collecting waste, working with local businesses to support local artisanal producers and educating our clients about the history and environment of the place.
