7-Hour Tour in Northern of Gran Canaria
Trip Gran Canaria offers you a unique chance to discover a side of the island of Gran Canaria which most visitors cannot see. This tour, approximately 7 hours long, will take you from the capital (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) to the northern lands. The north will make you fall in love with its charms and will offer you a better view of the typical Canary Island aspects.
After departing from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the tour starts in Arucas. This small town is famous for its large extensions of banana plantations and sugar cane production, considered "white gold" in past centuries. You will have the opportunity to walk along its neoclassical streets and visit the neogothic church of San Juan Bautista. This tour also includes the ticket to the Arehucas rum factory. During the 19th century, this factory was the largest in Europe.
From Arucas you will go to Agaete, where you will visit the archaeological site Maipés. You will be amazed by the pyramid-shaped tombs (dated from the 8th century AD). In addition, in Agaete you will discover the wonderful Puerto de las Nieves, a charming little fishing village where you will have time to take a walk and enjoy your lunch (not included), if you wish.
The last stop of the tour takes place in the Berrazales valley, an exotic and tropical place. There, you will go to a coffee plantation and enjoy a tasting that you will love.
