Activity itinerary

Dunas De Corrallejo (Pass by)

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, Pierre, rightly calls it: “ The door to Paradise” Note: If the weather is nice, we'll stop here !

El Cotillo Beach & Lagoons

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Visit El Cotillo, one of the most beautiful villages on Fuerteventura. Cotillo is a charming fishing village on the west coast of Fuerteventura, known for its beautiful beaches and relaxed atmosphere. It is an absolute must-visit! We are doing it on this amazing tour!

Castillo de El Toston

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
In the surrounding area (PhotoStop) with a good view of the harbour and an incredibly large whale skeleton… The castle is a round, two-story tower, built around 1700, the work of the engineer Claudio de l'Isle. The tower defended the coast and the ships anchored in the harbour of El Cotillo against Berber, English, and French pirates with three iron cannons. The castle of El Cotillo is considered a "twin" of the castle of Caleta de Fuste! You can visit it on this trip (if open).

Monumento Natural de Ajuy

  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Lunch time or time for the beach …

Playa Ajuy

  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
THE Walk to the caves ! The oldest rock formations in the Canary Islands The oldest rock formations in the Canary Islands come to the surface in the Ajuy Caves, which have been declared a Natural Monument and are located in the town of the same name, north of the village of Pájara. This geological wonder consists of observing with the naked eye the deposits that formed in the ocean floor during the Cretaceous period, between 100 and 150 million years ago. It is a mystery, because the formation of Fuerteventura dates back to approximately 30 million years ago. Access to the caves is a remarkable experience, because you walk along a fossilised sand dune, and along the way you can see some old lime kilns, which are unique because the stones were shipped directly into the sea. In the area around Ajuy you will also find places of interest such as the Canarian palm grove of Madre del Agua, along the same ravine that the conquistadors crossed 600 years ago,.

Betancuria (Pass by)

We see the old capital Betancuria and pass along one of the most beautiful panoramic mountainous areas and roads, internationally known for its hairpin bends and significant elevation changes.

Mirador Sicasumbre

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Driving south, we arrive at the Sicasumbre Viewpoint, located about 300 metres 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 favourable, without fail."

Mirador De Vallebron

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
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 favourable!

Ermita de la Pena Trail

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
The church is an 18th-century building built by agreement among the island's residents, who decided to build a new temple in honour of their patron saint, the Virgin of Our Lady of the Rock. On request we can stop here 5 minutes.

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 witches' haven since ancient times, ever since the Majos performed their rituals on its summit. There, magic, intertwined with the divine, spawned countless stories that resonated through the village. Good and evil, mystery and precision, the rain that brought life and death—always death—came from the mountain. 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, all those who still wandered through the village at sunrise sought refuge in the High House.

Mirador Guise y Ayose

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
Guise and Ayose Viewpoint This viewpoint is named after the two ancient Kings of Fuerteventura who ruled the two kingdoms that made up the island: Jandía and Maxorata. The viewpoint, which houses statues of the two rulers, is located right where the two kingdoms once separated. From there, you can enjoy the Betancuria Valley and the volcanic northern half of Fuerteventura, as well as the surrounding villages. The design of the statues is from our local architect señor Cubas

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.

Volcanes de Bayuyo (Pass by)

The Bayuyo Volcano is another volcano in Fuerteventura’s northern region, specifically in the municipality of La Oliva. Bayuyo erupted 10,000 years ago, in one of the most important geological events on the island, as its lava spread across the surface for 38 square miles.

Mirador de las Penitas

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
Panoramic View: From this viewpoint, a breathtaking view unfolds. The underground river that flows beneath the Las Peñitas ravine emerges thanks to human intervention, forming a small lake surrounded by native plants. It is a place where nature and human intervention intertwine in an astonishing way.

Calderon Hondo (Pass by)

Calderón Hondo is the most popular volcano in Fuerteventura, so it’s a must-see. It’s said to be about 50,000 years old, and at nearly 985 feet tall, it’s a huge attraction on the island. Calderón Hondo is actually part of a group of volcanoes in the northern part of the island

La Oliva (Pass by)

An anonymous manuscript relates that the town of La Oliva was founded in 1500 by individuals known to the Hernández brothers, residents of Betancuria. La Oliva is also the historic former capital after Betancuria

Montana de Tindaya (Pass by)

The most striking monument in the village Tindaya 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 honour of Miguel de Unamuno.
