Volcano Routes: A Journey to the Heart of the Island

Hiking in the South: The Jandía Massif

The Jandía peninsula is home to the highest mountains and wildest beaches on the island:

  • Pico de la Zarza (Pico de Jandía): the ascent to Fuerteventura’s highest point (807 meters). a demanding route that rewards you with the most impressive views of Cofete beach and the entire Jandía arch.
  • Gran Valle to Cofete: a historic trail that descends through a majestic valley to the remote and spectacular Cofete beach, passing by the mysterious Villa Winter.

Canyons and Oases: The Most Unexpected Fuerteventura

Not everything is desert on the island. The interior hides corners full of life and unique geological formations:

  • Barranco de las Peñitas: a simple and surprising route that takes you to a small oasis with a palm grove, a chapel, and the famous Arco de las Peñitas, a geological gem.
  • Barranco de los Enamorados (Lovers’ Ravine): walk through a canyon of fossilized sand dunes, one of the oldest and most magical formations in the Canary Islands.
