More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine rumbles and dust curls behind you as the south of Gran Canaria opens its raw face: sun-baked ravines, volcanic ridgelines and sudden panoramic drops toward the Atlantic. In a two-seater or four-seater buggy you take the wheel, guided along purpose-built mountain tracks that thread between basalt outcrops and terraced farmland. Stops at high viewpoints give room to breathe and frame the island’s layered geology—old lava flows interrupted by more recent erosion.
