Activity itinerary
Parque Natural de Corralejo
- 5m
- Admission ticket included
Let's go see the wonders of nature... Famous because of the film Wonder Woman. The 10 kilometres long natural white dunes.
If the weather conditions permit, we will also have an extra photo stop on the east natural corral dunes & popcorn beaches .
Sotavento Beach
- 10m
Fuerteventura should be translated in one word: beaches.
The spectacular nature of Sotavento can be summed up simply: it is the most famous beach in the world. Beautiful beach surrounded by dunes with turquoise water.
Its length alone, some nine kilometres, leaves visitors speechless. World famous for the annual kite and windsurfing championships …
At low tide, the island gains so much ground that some even doubt whether it is the largest Canary Island.
The constant sunshine, the enormous pools that form there and the endless golden sand make it deserve another synonym: paradise.
Playa De Ajuy
- 45m
- Admission ticket included
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.
Pierre:
• Walk to Ajuy caves are one of these examples of nature.
• If the weather conditions permit, we will also visit the caves on the west sea coast.
Betancuria
- 30m
Visit with us the oldest and first capital of Fuerteventura. Time to stroll around and visit the Santa Maria Cathedral, which is now a museum.
They do ask for a donation of 2€ cash only.
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 church in honour of their patron saint, the Virgin of Our Lady of the Rock.
The church is a single-nave building with a hipped roof and a vestry attached to the gospel side, also with a hipped roof.
Limestones are very present.
If time allows we will visit the little church…
Iglesia Catedral de Santa Maria de Betancuria
- 10m
- Admission ticket not included
Time to stroll around and visit the Santa Maria Cathedral from 1410, which is now a museum. They do ask for a donation of 2€.
Mirador De Vallebron
- 20m
- Admission ticket included
Vallebrón, with over 600 metres of altitude, is one of the highest peaks in the area and is an important reference for the area where it is located.
Below the Montaña de la Muda is the Degollada de Valle Grande viewpoint, from where you can see the Montaña de Tindaya, El Cotillo, Lajares and part of La Oliva.
Pierre :Did you know 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-edge relief, flanked by two large U-shaped ravines, Valle Largo and Valle Chico.
We will stop there if the weather conditions are favourable!
Mirador Sicasumbre
- 20m
- Admission ticket included
The Sicasumbre Viewpoint, located about 300 metres above sea level, is one of the best sky-gazing spots on the island.
The beauty of the area is perfectly combined with the facilities offered at the viewpoint, from information via signage to mounts so those who wish can comfortably use their cameras and telescopes.
Pierre says: A panoramic & stunning viewpoint on clear cloudy free days.
We will stop there if the weather conditions are favourable!
Pajara (Pass by)
Pájara is one of the oldest towns in Fuerteventura and was a very early settlement of Betancuria. 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 seen on its coat of arms.
See the sights along this beautiful route with explanations from our local guide.
Mirador de las Penitas
- 10m
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 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.
