Trekking to the Caldera de Bandama in Gran Canaria

With this tour you can visit the cráter Caldera de Bandama. Its interior is like being in another planet! Discover a miniature world with unique plants that can be found only here and feel the unique sensation of being in a crated formed 5000 years ago.

Bandama is an icon of the canary geography. The last eruption occurred 200 years ago and since a dense vegetation has evolved here in the crater and in the surrounding areas. Moreover this region is famous because of the many winery; the weather and the volcanic ash make the soil ideal for wine production.

The route starts in the border of the crater and as you descend (almost 200m deep!) you feel like in an isolated world, where the air, sounds, flora and fauna adopted a very own rhythm. There you can also see endemic plants that you won’t find anywhere else. Not even in the same island. The route is 8km long.
