• Dunas De Corralejo - The Corralejo Natural Park is a UNESCO-protected area on the island of Fuerteventura, spanning over 2,600 hectares. It was designated a natural park by UNESCO in 1996.

The dunes of Corralejo are situated in the north of the island, within the municipality of La Oliva. They are the island’s second most significant tourist attraction after the white sandy beaches. These dunes are the largest in the Canary Islands!

Attention: We will stop if the weather conditions (wind, etc.) are perfect; otherwise, we will just pass by.

• Sotavento Beach - Yes! We also head south to see the stunning 30-kilometer-long Sotavento Beach. It’s a perfect photo stop!

• Mirador Guise y Ayose - The twin statues of Guise and Ayose represent the two ancient kings who ruled Fuerteventura’s two kingdoms before the conquest in 1402. Standing about 15 feet high (4.5 meters), they make an impressive sight at this small viewpoint. The views from here are excellent, but parking is limited. Sometimes we cannot park, but you can always take pictures!

• Popcorn Playa - We also visit the now world-famous Popcorn Beach in Corralejo. The millions of small calcareous algae on the beach resemble popcorn and are frequently photographed by visitors. Popcorn Beach has its own hashtag on Instagram, #PopCornBeach, and has attracted attention from both Spanish and foreign press, including articles in the Daily Mail and coverage on Fox News in the United States.

Where do they come from? These calcareous algae almost certainly originate from the bottom of the ‘Estrecho de Bocaina,’ which separates Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. There is a forest of rhodolites that supports the fishing reserves of Majanicho and the coast of the municipality of La Oliva.

• Mirador de las Peñitas - Another great panoramic view on this day trip. 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 flowing under the Las Peñitas ravine, created by human hands, forms a small lake dotted with native plants. The open esplanade of the viewpoint is perfect for taking quality photos. It’s also home to chipmunks.

• Betancuria - The old historical capital, founded in 1404 by the Norman knight Jean de Bethencourt, was chosen for its secluded inland position to offer better defense against pirate attacks. Today, the local economy depends entirely on tourism.

A must-visit for walking the old streets, Betancuria is an absolutely beautiful place! It is the oldest town in the Canary Islands and was the capital of Fuerteventura until 1834. The scenery is stunning, and there are gift shops to explore. Your guide will tell you all about it.

• Ajuy - Lunch & Caves! Let’s visit the natural caves! Enjoy a delicious lunch afterward! Puerto de la Peña is a small settlement in Ajuy that used to serve as a port for the old island capital of Betancuria. The port was later raided by pirates. Caleta Negra (‘Black Bay’) lies 2 km from Ajuy. Near this bay, there is an old lime kiln. The limestone from Ajuy was considered particularly pure and was shipped from this place until the second half of the 19th century.

You can walk on the limestones to the deep and dramatic caves carved into the softer parts of the limestone cliffs by ocean winter storms.

Don’t feel like walking? No problem, there are plenty of terraces to enjoy a refreshing drink.

Time for lunch! (not included). There are several restaurants to choose from. We go to a typical Canarian, inexpensive restaurant on the beach. Here, you can eat and drink with locals at still affordable prices. Typical local dishes include fresh fish and goat meat or cheese. To be honest, there’s something for everyone!

• Mirador Astronómico de Sicasumbre - What an incredible panoramic view from the South Jansia! Indescribable…

We stop if the weather is good!

• Tindaya - We visit the identical, typical old Canarian village of Tindaya and its famous inhabitants.

For the pre-Hispanic Canary Islanders, the village and volcano of Tindaya on Fuerteventura was a sacred place. They created a kind of open-air temple on the top, where they performed various rituals. With these rites, they summoned the rain or predicted astrological phenomena.

• Iglesia Catedral de Santa Maria de Betancuria - A beautiful old church/museum from 1410, it used to be the Cathedral of the Canary Islands. Entrance is €2, cash only!

• Montaña de Tindaya - The Tindaya Mountain (volcano) has been declared a Natural Monument for the scientific importance of its geomorphological structure. It is also a point of cultural interest for its archaeological values, especially for the abundance of podomorph petroglyphs and the sacred character attributed by the majoreros (local people) to the first pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the island. It also hosts a rare endemic plant, Caralluma burchardii, which resembles a cactus.

3 km south of the city of Tindaya, at the foot of the 3-million-year-old Quemada Mountain, stands the monument in honor of Miguel de Unamuno, the famous writer from Bilbao. The guide will tell you all about it.

• Ermita de la Peña Trail - A beautiful little church dedicated to Fuerteventura’s saint, Madam de la Peña. If time allows, we will visit this charming church.

• Puerto del Rosario - Puerto del Rosario is the capital of the Canary Island of Fuerteventura. This city was founded around 1800 as a port for the export of soda and grain. Before 1957, the town was named Puerto de Cabras (Spanish for ‘Goat Port’) because of the nearby watering hole. Today, the port serves passengers and goods. There is also a large barracks of the Spanish Legion here.

You will also find the Nuestra Señora del Rosario Church and, opposite it, the Casa Museo de Unamuno (Spanish Literature). The city also has a football club called UD Fuerteventura.

In the main harbor, there is a castle built as a Martello tower by the military engineer Claudio de Lisne in 1743.

• La Oliva - Located in the north of the island, La Oliva includes the islet of Lobos in its municipal area. It is 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 capital was transferred to Puerto del Rosario in 1860.

• Vega de Río Palmas - Known for the film ‘Exodus’ and the Church de la Peña. Your guide will tell you all about the village and its famous Madonna. If we have time, we will stop here!

Pájara is located on the southern side of the Betancuria mountain range/Parque Rural de Betancuria. The village has approximately 1,100 inhabitants and is historically significant. Noble families have left city palaces here with typical Canarian wooden balconies.
