Sacred Peaks: Gran Canaria's 3-Hr Breathtaking Mountain Quest

We had originally booked a Via Ferrata with another company for the Tuesday of our trip, but after two last-minute cancellations due to their guide being injured and then unwell, we were put in touch with Pablo on what was our final full day in Gran Canaria. At that point we were pretty gutted, but contacting Pablo turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. Despite already running a kayaking activity that day, Pablo replied immediately and offered to take us on the Via Ferrata that same evening at 4pm. His communication was spot on — he even messaged well in advance to say he’d be five minutes late, which I massively appreciated as there’s nothing worse than waiting around with no idea what’s going on. When he arrived, everything instantly felt professional. He had top-quality, spotless equipment: brand-new-looking harnesses, clean carabiners, helmets — the lot. After explaining the route, he handed everything out and we set off. He was friendly, chatty, and just very easy to get along with on the walk up, stopping for water a couple of times. At the Via Ferrata, Pablo gave a full safety briefing and explained how the route had been built, plus a bit of the local geology, which was surprisingly fascinating. Throughout the climb he gave practical guidance and climbing tips, but always with humour. One of the running jokes was keeping your lanyards over your arm to make clipping onto the next section easier — he’d say, “Keep it Gucci!” and if he spotted you forgetting, you’d just hear a loud “Gucci!” behind you and instantly know what to fix. It made a simple safety habit memorable and fun. Another rule he teased us with was never grabbing the cable — unless you absolutely had to — because every time you did, you apparently owed him a one-dollar beer. There was even one section where he told us we had to hold the cable, so “that one doesn’t count!” It added a lighthearted touch while still keeping things safe and clear. Climbing in the late afternoon light turned out to be incredible. We moved through caves, across the cliff face and onto higher sections with breathtaking views as the sun went down. Since we’d done a little Via Ferrata before, he gave us the option of taking some of the harder lines, explaining everything clearly so we always felt safe and confident. The swing at the end was amazing, and by the time we reached the top the daylight had faded, so he handed us head torches for the walk down. Walking through the darkness with the last bit of colour in the sky was genuinely magical. All in all, this was a fantastic adventure and Pablo absolutely made the day for us. He went above and beyond to fit us in, especially at such short notice, and we felt completely looked after from start to finish. If you’re thinking about doing a Via Ferrata in Gran Canaria, book with Pablo — you won’t regret it. ⭐ Five stars — and we’d give six if we could.

Pablo explained everything so well and made sure I was comfortable at all times, he picked a route that was adjusted to my level of experience to ensure I had the most of it. He knows a lot about climbing, security and the rocks themselves and it was a lot of fun to learn about it and also just chat throughout the tour! Thank you so much😊

I was new to ferrata climbing but Pablo made it easy and enjoyable. Very unforgettable experience! Amazing views and a great challenge. Felt exclusive. Pablo is a very nice, funny, and inspring guide! Would definitely recommend and come back.

Pablo is a very experienced climber and is fluent in English. Patient, calm, funny. We had a great experience and felt safe under Pablos thorough guidance. Would definitely recommend this!

Amazing tour with Pablo. I had a lot of fun climbing the via ferrata and would highly recommend even if you already have a bit of experience! You can enjoy a nice view over the valley, see the ocean from the route, and enjoy a small challenge.

An amazing experience. A little adrenaline shot with beautiful views. Pablo is a very funny guy and a professional guide. I felt safe all the time. Thanks.

Great Via Ferrata created by Pablo himself. Therefore he has a lot of knowledge and informations about it

We joined the tour as a family of two adults and a teenager, equally enjoying La Via Ferrata. The level of the tour is, as described, manageable without any previous experience. For the a little more challenging parts, Pablo provided perfect support, making everyone feel comfortable. We can only recommend this tour!

Absolutely recommend this via ferrata with Pablo, he was brilliant, really patient, kind and helpful. Full of knowledge. It was challenging for a complete beginner like myself but thoroughly satisfying when we completed it.

This tour was absolutely amazing! I went on my own and ended up meeting six awesome people, which made the experience even better. The guide was fantastic, really knowledgeable and made sure to adjust the routes based on everyone’s skill level, so even as someone with climbing experience, it was still super fun. The views were incredible, and while it was definitely challenging, it’s totally doable if you’re reasonably fit. Overall, such a great experience - I’d 100% do it again! On my next visit to Gran Canaria, I’ll make sure to book it again.
