Orienteering map of Llanos de la Pez

Go orienteering at the heart of Gran Canaria

Running through the wonderful surroundings at the top of Gran Canaria—at the heart of the Biosphere Reserve—is a unique experience. A day out allows you to combine some orienteering with a visit to the little village of Tejeda, a hike to the iconic Roque Nublo and/or taking the best photos from the highest point on the island: Pico de las Nieves, from where you can get both Roque Nublo and Mount Teide into the same picture.

Usual venue for the Gran Canaria O-Meeting

This area has an excellent map for doing some orienteering, as it includes a good variety of areas that allow you to train in different techniques and categories: Canary Island pine forests, areas of microrelief, open terrain, choice of routes, fine orienteering... It is also the usual venue for the biggest orienteering event in Canary Islands: The Gran Canaria O-Meeting, which brings together hundreds of sportspeople from all over the world every Christmas.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any kind in the environment, including cigarette butts. Food scraps contribute to the proliferation of rodents and feral cats that pose a serious threat to wildlife.
Respect the animals, do not disturb or feed them. If you see any injured specimen, you can call the emergency telephone number 112. Do not pick flowers or plants either.
Do not collect or take stones or any other element of the natural environment. Do not modify it either by stacking them to make the sadly famous "towers."
Do not practice sports activities outside the permitted areas.
