Rock the Crater to the Vine
Descend Bandama, Gran Canaria’s highest summit, into a volcanic crater — and be rewarded with well-earned wine.
Head out on a drive to Pico de Bandama, Gran Canaria’s highest summit. With a guide, you’ll trek through the caldera, following a trail through lush orange, fig, and pine trees into the ginormous sunken volcanic crater. After a light snack, you’ll ascend back up the trail for the best panoramic vistas on the island. After, you’ll be rewarded with the finest products cultivated on the rich volcanic soil. Regional wine and appetizers in a nearby vineyard will be awaiting your arrival.
