El Cotillo is the fishing village in the north-west of Fuerteventura, with the white-sand lagoons to the north and cliffs to the south. The El Cotillo excursions we currently list are the three photo sessions with a professional photographer: family, pregnancy and couples, from 30 minutes and with free cancellation up to 24 hours before; the Cotillo lagoons are one of the regular backdrops. For buggies, boats or hiking, we link below to what leaves from the rest of the island.

We do not currently offer boat trips from Caleta harbour, buggies or walks starting here. The nearest options: the Corralejo buggy tour to the north, boat trips and whale and dolphin watching from Jandía to the south, and the island’s guided hikes, several with hotel pickup.

  • El Cotillo is 20 minutes from Corralejo: the buggy tour through dunes and volcanoes is the nearest departure, with hotel pickup.
