Summit sweep to Peñas del Chache
The trip reaches Peñas del Chache (671 m), where the landscape opens into wide volcanic panoramas—an intentional highlight of the northern circuit.
Volcanic tracks and old quarries
The route takes you off paved roads across volcanic terrain, past ancient quarries such as those at Guatiza and the cantera de El Mojón, showcasing the island’s raw geology.
Small groups, hands‑on driving
Operated for small groups with two people per buggy, the excursion balances guided safety with the adrenaline of driving an off‑road vehicle across remote tracks.
