Things to do in Puerto Rico

In Puerto Rico you can spend all day at the beach soaking up the sun and taste a range of different food in the evening. But, there are also dozens of fun things you can do too.

Explore the Dunes: There is a lot of hiking involved in a trip to the Canary Islands, particularly if you decide to go to Maspalomas and explore the Dunes. The natural reserve has been protected for years and remains a popular spot among tourists. You’re able to walk miles and head out to sea, or stroll into the desert and look at the wildlife.

Roque Nublo: Roque Nublo is an unusual tourist spot, but it still brings in thousands of people every year. The formation has proven to be popular in Gran Canaria, with many people climbing up to see the historical feature. It’s a volcanic rock, which was formed by an eruption around 4.5 million years ago. It stands at 1,956 metres, so it’s no surprise that tourists make the trip to view the rocks.
