Do not miss this unique chance to get to know the Island.
So far, tour- suitable bikes were only for rent in the south of the Island. Thus many tours into the attractive and green north were to uncomfortable because of the long distance back to the accomondation. Many spectacular routes remained undiscovered for those who had to get back to their staring point in Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés.
But especially the green Barrancos and hills between Las Palmas and Agaete offer unforgettable impressions of the pure Island of Gran Canaria and a variety of tours in the most beautiful nature. Descents for example from the peaks to the west coast and ascents on the spectacular pass road Anden Verde now are particularly passable for biker who are not high performance athlets, bacause of our shuttle service which avoids the difficult ascent or the return on busy roads.
A more demanding tour on tracks, paths and highways: Our giuded tour starts on a short street segment at the viewpoint Mirador Pico de Las Nieves, but soon it goes on a gravel road which is not recommended for participants without any terrain experience. Far away from the paved roads we descend southerly through the Barranco del Agua in the endless serpentines to La Bodeguilla above the Vega de san Mateo.
