The engine rumbles before you crest a rim of volcanic rock and the coastal lowlands fall away — dunes, palms and the distant Atlantic stretch toward the horizon. This five-hour 4x4 route departs Maspalomas and threads high ravines and terraced farmland, stopping at viewpoints where wind and light carve the island into sharp relief.
