Dunes of Maspalomas

The Maspalomas Dunes is a unique 404-hectare Sahara-like nature reserve. Shaped by northeast winds, the golden dunes form a fairy-tale landscape composed of crushed chalk, shells and volcanic sand.

It's a paradise for nature lovers and photographers - the changing dune formations against the Atlantic Ocean create unforgettable views. Explore the desert ecosystem on a barefoot sunset hike, or opt for a camel ride for added excitement.

Also visit the saltwater lagoon of El Charco, where you can observe various species of birds, including herons and gulls.
