What to expect

Northern Gran Canaria is all non-stop natural beauty. This tour delves into this often-overlooked part of the island's treasure chest. You'll visit Spain's largest botanic garden and the home of the national fruit - a banana farm. Explorers sailing to the Americas would take green ones that ripened en route, exporting so many to Britain that Canary Wharf in London was named after the island.

First up is a deep dive into this island's continent-like biodiversity. Planted on a hillside, Jardin Canario is the largest botanical park in Spain. It boasts more than 2,000 species of plants, 500 of which are endemic to the island. Tour the tree-lined grounds and learn all about the initiative's conservation efforts and environmental education programme. Next up is a banana farm, where you'll discover 13 varieties of plantain from all over the world. You'll get to taste some of the organic goodies here, like freshly picked fruits, preserves and juices.

The final stop will include a guided tour of charming Firgas village, a cluster of narrow streets lined with traditional Canarian houses. Explore the photogenic streets with your guide, who will explain the presence of so many fountains in this little town. Afterwards, you'll have free time to discover more of the delights of Firgas at your own pace, perhaps stop for a leisurely coffee or look for souvenirs.

    Das beeindruckende war die Bananenplantage. Im botanischen Garten ist man besser dran alleine zu laufen, man sieht viel mehr von diesem Garten. Es war aber auch interessant was miguel erzählt hat. Vielleicht mehr Zeit im botanischen Garten einplanen

    A very informative trip regarding the flora of the island. The botanical garden was closed due to adverse weather forecast, we were surprised the guide did not know as it had been closed since 2 days before our trip. However, the alternative garden that we visited was picturesque and compact. The guide also found a venue for coffee and comfort break as the nearby coffee bar was also closed! The remainder of the trip was as advertised.
