Activity itinerary

Dunas De Corrallejo
  • 10m
Neither the Seychelles nor the Caribbean: the best beach in the world according to National Geographic is in the Canary Islands. One of the best beaches in the world is Corralejo, and we'll definitely be seeing it on this tour! Our guide, Pepe, rightly calls it: “ The door to Paradise” Note: If the weather is nice, we'll stop here or at the popcorn beaches!
Playa Ajuy
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Caves walk !! Yea, A Walk to the spectacular Ajuy caves, which are the oldest formations in the Canary Islands. They belong to the basal complex of Fuerteventura, created by the submarine flow of lava and sediment that rose to the surface and began to form the island 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. The rocks emerged from a depth of 3,000 metres and started to form the base that these days supports this island and that of Lanzarote. The caves are extremely important from a geological and paleontological perspective and are among the 150 sites of primary geological interest in the world. Visiting them means travelling back in time to the very origins of Fuerteventura and the Canary Islands themselves. Did you knew? • It was the place where Jean de Béthencourt, the conqueror of the Canary Islands, landed in the 15th century. If the weather conditions permit, we will also visit the caves on the west sea coast.
Betancuria
  • 30m
Free Time to enjoy... Just stroll around and enjoy the old village. You can visit the Santa Maria Cathedral (ticket 2€), if open, take a coffee break if you wish… Or go shopping! Free time for everyone!
Mirador Guise y Ayose
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
A other stunning stop and panorama view in the mountains (669 meter high), but also the 2 statues of the gauchens appeal to the imagination!
Mirador de las Penitas
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
The ravine of las Penitas. An exceptional enclave! AN other great Panoramic View on this daytrip. From the Las Peñitas viewpoint, in Betancuria, you will see an evocative view: a green oasis in the middle of the desert. The underground river that flows under the Las Peñitas ravine is created by human hands (in 1937) and forms a small lake dotted with native plants. The open esplanade of the viewpoint is the perfect place for taking quality photos. Home of the local inhabitants, the chipmunks.
Mirador Sicasumbre
  • 15m
Driving south, we arrive at the Sicasumbre Viewpoint, located about 300 meters above sea level. This is, by the way, one of the best places on our island to observe the sky. The beauty of the area is perfectly combined with the facilities the viewpoint offers, from information and signage to the mountains, so those who wish can comfortably use their cameras. Our guide, Pepe, says: "It's a panoramic and breathtaking viewpoint on clear, cloudy days. "We'll stop there whenever the weather conditions are favorable, without fail."
Mirador De Vallebron
  • 15m
An area of great landscape value The protected landscape of Vallebrón is located between the towns of La Oliva and Puerto del Rosario, in the north of the island of Fuerteventura. It is a geomorphological entity that is representative of the island and of great landscape value. It covers an area of almost 1,680 hectares, which represents 3.5% of the protected area of the island. Vallebrón forms a landscape characterised by an elongated ridge with a knife-shaped relief, flanked by two large U-shaped ravines, Valle Largo and Valle Chico. The southernmost point of the ridge coincides with the Montaña de la Muda, a place of historical interest due to an archaeological site. To the southwest lies the town of Tindaya, which is bordered by the Montaña Quemada to the south and the Montaña de Tindaya to the north. We will stop there if the weather conditions are favorable!
Vega de Rio Palmas
  • 10m
Known for the film Excodus “Gods & Kings” and the Church of Virgin de La Pena. The patrona of Fuerteventura. Your guide will tell you all about it. Lunch place !
Ermita de la Pena Trail
  • 10m
Beautiful little church of Fuerteventura’s patron “the Virgin de la Peña” … Your guide will tell you all about it. If time enough and the church is open we will visit the Ermita de la Peña …
Tindaya
  • 5m
"La Casa Alta" (The High House) in Tindaya was closely associated with the witches of Tindaya. La Casa Alta in Tindaya is an example of the civil architecture that flourished in the 18th century. Its walls enshrine memories and legends. Legend has it that Mount Tindaya has been a place of witches since ancient times, ever since the Majos performed their rituals on its summit. There, magic, intertwined with the divine, gave birth to countless stories that resonated through the village. From there came good and evil, mystery and precision, the rain that brought life and death—always death. From the mountain, the witches descended and took advantage of the darkness of the night to discuss earthly matters, for they were the ones who determined the entire course of events in the village of Tindaya. And according to legend, at sunrise all those who still wandered through the village sought refuge in the High House.
Pajara (Pass by)
Pájara was one of the first settlements, founded by farmers and fishermen finding fertile land and water, unlike much of Fuerteventura. The Name "Pájara" likely comes from the Spanish word for bird, possibly referencing the area's birdlife, It survived the complete destruction during the Arab invasion of 1593, when all of Betancuria was reduced to dust. The town takes its name from the hen pheasant, as shown on its coat of arms. View the sights along this beautiful route with explanations from our local guide.
Montana de Tindaya (Pass by)
The most striking monument in the village is the Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de la Caridad, a small temple that has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. The volcano Tindaya has been declared a Natural Monument due to the scientific importance of its geomorphological structure, as well as a point of cultural interest due to its archaeological values, especially due to the abundance of podomorphic petroglyphs and the sacred character given by the majos, first pre-Hispanic settlers of the island. It also has the presence of some rare endemisms such as Caralluma burchardii, fleshy plants with the appearance of cacti. 3 km south of the city, at the foot of Mount Quemada, stands the monument in honor of Miguel de Unamuno.
Molino de Tefia (Pass by)
The agricultural prison colony of Tefía was a concentration camp during the Franco dictatorship, located in the village of Tefía, belonging to the municipality of Puerto del Rosario. It was active between 1954 and 1966 and served for the incarceration of ordinary and political prisoners, and for the re-education of male homosexuals. Also the place where the first airport (1930) was and the first tourists arrived.
La Oliva (Pass by)
It is located in the north of the island and includes the islet of Lobos in its municipal area, being the second largest municipality in the Canary Islands and the second most populated on the island, after Puerto del Rosario. It was the island capital from 1834, replacing Betancuria, until the transfer of the capital in 1860 to the city of Puerto del Rosario.
Puerto del Rosario (Pass by)
We drive past the young capital(1862), actually through the center and along the most important port in Fuerteventura. If we have time enough; We have a photo stop on the port and the lovely beach playa chica … On high tide we see the natural swimming pool of the El Charco neighborhood in Puerto del Rosario!! The guide will of course also tell you the very interesting stories here.
Caleta de Fuste (Pass by)
Biggest golf resort in Fuerteventura. Your guide will tell you all about the holiday/Golf resort.
