Day Trip to Red Canyon in Gran Canaria

Know before you go

• What to bring:
  • Hiking boots or closed-toe athletic shoes (avoid sandals or flip-flops).
  • A backpack is essential (please avoid bringing disposable bags).
  • Comfortable athletic clothing.
  • Swimsuit, towel, and a dry change of clothes.
  • Sunscreen.
  • A rain jacket and a sweatshirt.
  • Something to eat (a sandwich, fruit, or energy bar).
  • 1.5 L of drinking water.
  • Ticket booked online. You will receive it by email.
• Full-day excursion: It lasts between 7 and 11 hours, including about 6.5 hours of main activity and 2 to 4 hours of travel time, depending on your pickup location.
• Hike to La Fortaleza de Ansite: a 650-meter trail with a 40-meter elevation gain and rugged terrain. It includes a short section at a height; while secured, it may pose difficulties for those with a fear of heights. There is an alternative path that bypasses this section. The entire hike takes about one hour and 15 minutes.
• Health and Fitness: The Red Canyon tour includes a moderately difficult hike over rugged, rocky terrain with a steep incline, which requires a good level of physical fitness. To ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment, this activity is not recommended for:
  • People with limited mobility, such as those who require walking aids (e.g., canes or crutches) or those who have difficulty navigating rocky trails.
  • Elderly individuals or those with physical limitations, particularly those subject to significant weight restrictions or who have difficulty walking on moderate inclines.
  • Pregnant travelers, due to the physical demands of the activity.
  • Guests with serious health conditions, such as heart problems, breathing difficulties, or other conditions that are aggravated by physical exertion.
  • Travelers who have recently suffered injuries or who suffer from chronic joint pain, as hiking requires stability, balance, and the ability to move on uneven surfaces.
• Children under 12 years of age: the recommended minimum age is 5 years. Children under 18 must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians. Spaces for children are limited (maximum of 4 per tour). If they require a special seat for transportation, please let us know at least 2 days in advance.
