E-Bike Mountain Tour of Ayagaures and Maspalomas Dunes with Cave Tapas
A three-hour guided e-bike route that starts at the Maspalomas dunes, climbs to Ayagaures with a stop in an ancient cave Tapas bar, and returns mostly downhill; ideal for riders who want dramatic island views without hard climbing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a light jacket
Wind can be strong near the reservoir and temperatures drop on the climb—layer up for the return descent.
Closed-toe shoes only
The operator requires closed shoes for stability and safe pedaling—sandals are not allowed.
Hydrate before and during the ride
Bottled water is provided, but drink early and often; sun and wind increase fluid loss on the climb.
Know basic e-bike handling
Electric assistance changes balance and braking—be comfortable riding and controlling gear before joining.

Conservation Note
The Maspalomas dunes are a protected reserve; stick to marked paths, avoid trampling vegetation, and follow guide instructions to limit erosion and disturbance.
The cave stop sits in a site used by pre-Hispanic islanders (often referred to as Guanche heritage), and the route crosses landscapes shaped by volcanic activity and coastal sands.
