October 22, 2022,Rund um Caldera Bandama – Gratwanderweg Runde von Los Hoyos

This tour is beautiful. We'd do it all over again. It was great, warm air from the outside, cool air from the inside of the Grater and of course a great view.

March 2, 2024,🇪🇸 GC - Rund um den Vulkankrater Bandama

Great tour around the caldera of Bandama volcano. At the beginning of the tour there is also the worthwhile short climb over the road to the top of the volcanic cone (Pico Bandama), which is rewarded with great views, for example to Las Palmas and the sea.
Even if the sun was only visible for a short time, it was …

November 17, 2025,Caldera de Bandama Wanderung am Kraterrand

The hike around the Bandama volcanic crater offers fantastic views from Las Palmas' seaport all the way to the airport. The crater itself is less appealing because it's windless and has sparse vegetation. However, the 240-meter descent is definitely worthwhile for those with more geological knowledge than myself. I can recommend the charming little restaurant Tasca la Caldera on the …

February 7, 2022,Rund um Caldera Bandama – Gratwanderweg ab Pico de Bandamas

We are volcano friends and like to hike around and on their caldera. Be it in Sicily, Italy, La Palma or today on Gran Cañaría. The path surprised us with great views of all 360 degree angles of the caldera and the rock massifs opposite. The path is difficult because the fine, loose scree has to be taken two steps …

February 8, 2025,Kammwanderung - Caldera de Bandama – Blick in den Krater Runde von Los Hoyos

We made a quick trip around the crater of the volcano, as it was unfortunately very overcast today. So we saved ourselves the trip down into the crater and took the bus to La Palma.

February 8, 2026,Rund um Caldera de Bandama

The Bandama crater provides an interesting example of the most recent volcanic activity on Gran Canaria, which ended around 1800 years ago. A circular path around the crater is approximately 3.5 km long. The valley floor lies 200 m below, where until recently Señor Agustín, a hermit, lived in paradisiacal seclusion.
