The programme

We will leave the port behind and walk along a pathway encircled by nature which will take us to the summit of the crater of the Bandama Volcano, one of the youngest volcanoes on the island and the largest on Gran Canaria, at a depth of 200 metres and with diameter of 1,000 metres. We will hike around of this inactive volcano, which last erupted 3,000 years ago, giving the small municipality of Santa Brigida its current form.
At the crater, a small abandoned farm bestows a panoramic viewpoint, an ideal place to enjoy the magnificent view of the crater and the landscape which was perpetually influenced by the power of the eruptions.
After a brief stop for a rest, time permitting, our walk will take us on the edge of the volcano which will provide us withgreat views 360ª of the north and south of the island.
