Playa de SotaventoFuerteventura 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 kilometers, 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.
- How did the dunes of Corralejo form? Almost 90% of the composition of these dune sands has a high carbonate content. This indicates that the main source of the sediments is of marine origin. The eruption of the mountains Roja, Pajarita and Mal Nombre, which are located only behind the dunes, caused the emission of a significant amount of lava. A large part of them reached the sea. There was also a retreat of the coastline. These volcanic cones, together with their badlands, form a natural barrier and the bed on which the dunes lie. There is a false belief that the sands of the Corralejo dunes originate from the neighboring Sahara desert, but their origin is much closer. The dunes were built with the essentially organogenic sea sand, which was brought to the coast from the shallow areas of the Bocaina Strait and its surroundings. Once on land, the trade winds push the sand inward, forming and shaping the dunes. If the weather is good we stop! (pass by)

Betancuria Old TownThe former capital of Fuerteventura, Betancuria has a historic centre presided over by its church-cathedral. Founded at the beginning of the 15th century by the Frenchman Juan de Bethencourt, Betancuria remained the capital of the island of Fuerteventura until 1834
- 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!

Mirador Guise y AyoseGuise 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
-
Mirador de las PenitasPanoramic 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.

Playa AjuyTHE 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 fossilized 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,.
- On our way to the south … The Sicasumbre astronomical viewpoint, located about 300 meters above sea level with a amazing view from Jandia. We will stop there if the weather conditions are favorable! (pass by)

Ermita de la Pena TrailThe church is an 18th-century building built by agreement among the island's residents, who decided to build a new temple in honor of their patron saint, the Virgin of Our Lady of the Rock.
- Tiscamanita is a small farming village of about 500 inhabitants, in the south of the island of Fuerteventura. To the east of the village lies the Caldera de Gairía volcano, one of the last volcanic structures on the island of Fuerteventura; it is a Strombolian volcano with a height of 461 metres. This recent volcanic activity has created an arid area with a very special biological environment. Volcanic ash from the volcano has been exploited for a long time, including through the "agricultural technical cultivo enarenado" ("silted cultivation"), in which the fields are covered with pozzolana to protect the soil from the evaporation of water by the strong winds in the region. Pozzolana has left deep fissures in the flanks of the volcano, but the Caldera de Gairía is now protected as a natural monument. Your local history guide will give you more history facts on tour. (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 honor of Miguel de Unamuno.

Vega de Rio PalmasLunch time ! Picturesque, traditional, humble and nestled in a beautiful valley, it is a village that is as popular for its romeria festival as for the hiking route that passes by it. The small and welcoming houses scattered throughout the valley form the village in which around 200 people live. Meanwhile, under the protection of the humidity of Barranco de las Peñitas (Las Peñitas ravine), where the town is located, the vegetation and greenery grow among the classic desert landscape that characterises Fuerteventura.
- 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 (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 seat of the island's Colonels, who resided in the stately Casa de los Coroneles. (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. (pass by)
