Cuevas de Caballero
Perched along the edge of Risco Chapí, in the highlands of Artenara, the Cuevas de Caballero form a striking archaeological ensemble. Twelve cave dwellings—some carved by hand, others naturally formed and adapted—sit along a south-facing ledge overlooking the dramatic silhouette of Roque Bentayga and the valley of Tejeda.
From the narrow path connecting the caves, the landscape unfolds in shifting layers of ochre, green, and brown, constantly changing with the seasons. The high-altitude vegetation blends seamlessly with the rocky outlines of Roque Nublo on the horizon, creating a photographer's dream of contrasts and textures bathed in ever-changing light.
Accessible from both Artenara and Tejeda, the caves are open year-round, though the route rewards those who take their time. This cherished site among hikers and history lovers offers a direct window into the lives of Gran Canaria's original inhabitants, where silence, memory, and breathtaking views meet at every turn.
