About this experience
Our first stop is a magical place: the Guayadeque Valley, a stream meanders along the valley and it's the only constant water flowing during the whole year on the island.
The next stop is Puerto Mogán, an old fishing village that has become one of the most elegant and suggestive tourist locations on the southern island side, where traditional fishing boats are mixed with yachts and sightseeing boats.
In Puerto Mogán we will have an hour of free time to have lunch (not included in the price), take a swim or a walk through its streets
Finally, the exceptional Special Protected Natural Reserve of the Dunes of Maspalomas, 400 hectares including an excellent beach, a great live dunes system, a palm trees oasis and a brackish lagoon, an important stopover of migratory birds.
We will guide you to the Lighthouse and La Charca to explain and learn about this ecosystem, then you will have free time to have fun on the dunes and to take a swim at the amazing beach
