Bandama Natural Monument viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bandama Natural Park (Spanish: Monumento Natural de Bandama) is a protected landscape area in the northeast of the island of Gran Canaria, in the Spanish province of Las Palmas. It consists of two clearly defined units: the mountain peak Pico de Bandama and the Caldera de Bandama.

The name Bandama is not of Spanish origin. It is derived from the Flemish trader Daniel Van Damme, who ran a very successful winery in the Caldera in the 16th century. This man's will is the first written documentation of viticulture in this area of the island. The wine presses, which are still partially preserved today, and the associated fermentation tanks (lagares), in which the grapes were mashed, are among the oldest of their kind on Gran Canaria.

Nice vegetation down there. I was amazed at how green it is in the crater.

A hike in the volcanic crater is interesting - just keep in mind that you have to go up again later. We were there in the midday heat, which was "suboptimal" for the climb ...

Bandama Caldera

Highlight • Volcano

Probably the most recognizable caldera of Gran Canaria. Here the volcanic past is still almost noticeable. At the top of the entrance there are descriptive information boards about the origin. It is worth the way to the bottom of the caldera. About half of the descent comes a great viewing platform. At the very bottom of the caldera are still old ruins, which are currently being rebuilt. It is also worth paying attention to the caldera at the top of the crater rim on the narrow path. Great views of the caldera. At first the way looks worse than it actually is and is predominantly easy to walk on. Only at about two places it is a bit arduous, as it goes on slippery ground (loose lava granules) quite steeply uphill.

Caldera de Bandama Crater Walk

Highlight • Volcano

After the end point of the walk do not immediately go back up. Walk right past the finca and then immediately left in the direction of another abandoned house.
Then you walk a small circle down through the crater, you come back to the Finca.

The first few meters of the path are covered with stone slabs, then it continues downhill on loose, sometimes slippery ground. No places to stop for refreshments.

So I wouldn't call it an easy tour. It was very tiring. Non-slip shoes are recommended.

The last hike of our vacation takes us into the Bandama crater near Santa Brigida, which is approximately 170 meters deep and 1 km wide in diameter.
This crater was formed during one of the last volcanic eruptions approximately 2,000 years ago. Seen from above, it's an impressive sight! The different rock formations and layers are also interesting.

March 30, 2025,🇮🇨 Circular Caldera Bandama 🥾☀️🥾

A very beautiful circular hike through the Caldera Bandama volcanic crater. I recommend sturdy footwear, preferably trekking or hiking boots. The path is a bit rocky here and there, but otherwise it's easy to walk.

It is NOT suitable for beginners and people afraid of heights. Good conditions are a prerequisite, the path is very steep in parts.

Nice tour into the volcano. Sturdy shoes are mandatory as the surface is very loose and there is a lot of slipping. Otherwise, bring plenty of water with you to avoid dehydration in the heat.

A nice trip. Impressively unspectacular in the volcano. Take bus 311 from San Telmo 1.40 euros. The bus ride up here alone was an experience.
