Fuerteventura stands as the least developed among the Canary Islands, escaping the extensive coastal development seen on other archipelago islands. Basking in year-round sunshine with an average temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, the island boasts an equable, dry climate, making it an ideal destination for walking holidays with its coastal trails and expansive remote beaches. Accompanied by knowledgeable local guides who join each walk, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the island’s landscapes, history and way of life.
This geologically captivating paradise, characterized by rare rainfall, offers a plethora of volcanic rock formations, creating an otherworldly landscape. Exploring the red rocks of the interior feels like venturing into an alien realm. The island's interior showcases ancient volcanoes, dry steppes, and rolling sandy hills adorned with stone terraces. Charming villages, housing some of the oldest churches in the Canaries, reflect the relaxed and welcoming pace of life embraced by the locals.
Fuerteventura's popularity for walking holidays is on the rise, with an expanding network of marked paths. A trek through the island's middle leads to the historic town of Betancuria, the Atlantic's inaugural European settlement. One notable journey begins in Costa Calma, traversing the island's spine to the opposite coast, returning via an alternate route, all brought to life by expert local guide accompanying each walk.
In Corralejo, a ferry transports walkers to the neighbouring Isla de Lobos, where a circumnavigation unveils ocean vistas and glimpses of nearby Canary Islands. A southern highlight is the breath-taking view of the remote and stunning Cofete beach, making each step a memorable exploration of Fuerteventura's natural wonders, enhanced by the insight and expertise of your local guides.
