Ajuy and Las Peñitas hiking tour with picnic

Ajuy and Las Peñitas hiking tour with picnic

Everything that makes the western highlands of Fuerteventura special comes together on this walking tour. Your guide will lead you through one of the island's greenest areas and barren landscapes with a Wild West feel, all the way to the fishing village of Ajuy – and there's a few hidden surprises on this well-known route. Fernando, one of our insider guides, says ‘Every year, on the third Saturday of September, thousands of islanders dressed in traditional Canarian costume pilgrimage through the gorge to worship Fuerteventura's patron saint.'Discover off the beaten track parts of Fuerteventura as you embark on foot, crisscrossing valleys from the hamlet of Vega de Rio Palmas to the hermitage of Las Peñitas. There'll be plenty of photo stops and the chance to rest in the shade under one of the many date trees which dot the route. Thanks to the surrounding sea of green vegetation and otherworldly rock formations, locals refer to the area as the ‘Oasis of Fuerteventura'. Film fans, though, can spot it in one of the scenes from the Marvel movie, The Eternals.Continue the trail along a gorge towards the coast and we'll reach the wave washed Ajuy. This remote village is famed for its sea caves, which you'll get time to explore along with its black volcanic beaches. Stroll along the shore at El Jurado and treat your feet to a dip in the refreshing water of the Atlantic. We'll tuck into a well-deserved picnic before heading back.

Excursions & day trips

Jandia dolphin-watching cruise in Fuerteventura

Bring a splash of excitement to your holiday with this two-hour cruise, where you'll be on the lookout for some of the ocean's most playful residents – dolphins. The calm, warm waters surrounding Fuerteventura are a dolphin's dream, rich with food and full of life, making it the perfect spot to see them darting through the waves and putting on a natural show.Catch the breezes on deck and keep your eyes peeled for the first hint of movement – you'll often just see a fleeting shadow or flash of dorsal fin before a playful pod surges into view. Then, with a bit of luck, you'll be treated to an incredible show as they leap, plunge and race through the water alongside you.You may even spot baby dolphins swimming close to their mothers, and if you're really lucky, pilot whales too. And when your eyes aren't tracking the waters, you'll have the Jandia coastline to gaze out over while you sit back with a drink and relax. Plus, if the weather plays ball, you can enjoy a swim stop.

Where to go

Spain

Things to do in Fuerteventura

The second largest of the Canaries, Fuerteventura is the ideal destination for beach buffs and nature fans. It boasts no fewer than 150km of sandy beaches, which includes everything from long sweeps of sand to tucked-away coves. Plus, the landscapes here are so diverse they could be used as the set of a sci-fi movie – expect sand dunes, palm-studded oases and 24 volcanoes. Elsewhere, there are lots of colonial villages dotted throughout the island that are ripe for exploring. Top six things to do in Fuerteventura 1. Explore Jandía Natural Park and Corralejo Natural Park Covering the island’s southernmost tip, Jandía Natural Park offers heaps of wave-washed beaches that are hemmed in by a dramatic ridgeline. It’s almost as if Mother Nature had 4x4 safaris in mind when she created it. The abandoned Villa Winter and the island’s highest point, Pico de la Zarza, are the ideal places to stop and take some photos of the postcard-ready scenery. The dunes of the Corralejo Natural Park are the largest in the Canary archipelago and are home to endemic animal and plant species that you can't see anywhere else, including endangered birds and beetles that burrow under the sand. The park’s southern limit is marked by the Mars-like Roja volcano. Both natural parks are well worth a day trip. 2. Head to Lobos Island Just minutes north of Fuerteventura, the uninhabited island of Lobos has all the essentials for a fun-filled day- trip. This little gem offers plenty of watersports opportunities. Put on your snorkel and swim alongside groupers, damselfish, lizard fish, parrot fish, and octopuses – plus much more. To visit Lobos Island, you’ll need to book an excursion at least five days in advance. It’s a very popular day-trip destination, so we recommend booking early to make sure you don’t miss out. 3. Try your hand at some watersports With a mostly unspoilt coastline that’s surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, there’s an abundance of water activities to try out on Fuerteventura. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, a diving or snorkelling excursion is a must. Expert guides will take you underwater, where you can see fish, rays and even, with a little luck, seahorses. Catamaran trips and dolphin-watching outings are also on the cards. 4. Stroll around Salinas del Carmen A popular attraction on Fuerteventura is the Salinas del Carmen, the only still- functioning saltworks on the island. It’s located on the east coast, near Antigua, and includes a warehouse, merchant’s house, the remains of the old quay and a museum. During a visit, you can find out how important the salt industry has been for Fuerteventura and if you feel like getting your hands dirty, you can even be a salt worker for a day. 5. Tuck in to traditional Canarian cuisine Fuerteventura’s food scene is considered among the most authentic in the Canary Islands. Majorero cheese is particularly popular, and is made from the milk of majorero goats, which are native to the island. For traditional restaurants, you’ll want to head to historic Betancuria or the fishing village of Ajuy, where you can sample some of the freshest fish available. 6. Tick off Fuerteventura’s churches and windmills Apart from the volcanoes, nothing better represents Fuerteventura than its picture-perfect collection of whitewashed churches and pockmarked windmills. The prettiest churches can be found in Antigua, Betancuria, La Oliva and Pajara, while the most photogenic windmills are in Puerto Lajas, Villaverde and Llanos de la Concepción. Built to mill the local gofio flour in the traditionally windy parts of Fuerteventura, many have been completely restored in recent years.
