Activity itinerary

Parque Natural de Corralejo

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 .

Playa de Sotavento de Jandía

While the north and west of Fuerteventura are perfect places to surfers, kitesurfers, and those who love hidden coves, the south of the island is the ideal destination for windsurfers and, above all, for those who seek extensive golden sand beaches where sunbathe. Sotavento beach, or rather, “the Sotavento beaches” are the most visited enclaves in the municipality of Pájara. Maybe this is due to the characteristic turquoise colour of the sea, to the large extensions of its sandy areas, or to be an ideal place to practice of water sports. The truth is that the Sotavento beaches are idyllic areas that is well worth a visit

Betancuria

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.

Ermita de la Pena Trail

10m

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.

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.

The Sicasumbre Viewpoint, located about 300 metres above sea level, is one of the best sky-gazing spots on the island.

It covers an area of almost 1,680 hectares, which represents 3.5% of the protected area of the island.

We will stop there if the weather conditions are favourable!

Costa Calma (Pass by)

Costa Calma means “Calm Coast”, which is contradicted by the winds that blow constantly on this coast as evidenced by the many wind farms in the region, as well as the schools of windsurf and kitesurf. However the resort is conducive to a relaxing holiday, except perhaps for ten days in July that lasts kite & windsurfing world cup, drawing large animation.
