Las Palmas and Caldera de Bandama Day Trip
Tour Highlights
At the scheduled time, we'll meet at Plaza Hurtado de Mendoza, known as Plaza de las Ranas (Frogs Square), where we'll begin our guided walking tour of the historic center of Las Palmas.
This area accommodates the city’s oldest buildings, including the striking Casa de Colón (Columbus House). This beautiful edifice is dedicated to Christopher Columbus and his voyages. You'll also stroll through the main square and explore the Cathedral of Santa Ana, the heart of Las Palmas. Then, visit other more modern constructions that are equally indispensable, including the Gabinete Literario, or the Pérez-Galdós Theatre, named after the world-famous Spanish writer born in Las Palmas.
After the walking tour, which will last around 20 minutes, you'll have 40 minutes of free time. Next, we'll make our way by coach towards Caldera de Bandama, where we'll make a short stop of around 15 minutes to take some photos. The fury of the volcanoes left us with this incredible crater measuring 1,000 meters wide and 200 meters deep. It'll take your breath away!
After admiring Caldera de Bandama, we'll continue the bus tour towards the Viera y Clvija Botanical Gardens. Here, you'll have 45 minutes to visit this botanical space, which is famous for its species brought from Macaronesua, the famous ecosystem formed by the Canary Islands, the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde.
Finally, we'll bring this activity to an end after 9 hours together back in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where you'll be able to grab yourself some lunch. You'll also be able to visit the Poema del Mar aquarium. If you fancy it, you'll also be able to tour Las Canteras Beach, the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and the Las Arenas Shopping Centre.
After exploring Bandama, you'll be dropped off near your hotel.
