About this tour
A nine-hour loop through Fuerteventura's southern reaches, starting at the fishing village of Ajuy with its black volcanic sand and optional cave exploration, then sweeping inland to Betancuria's colonial architecture and whitewashed plazas. The route continues north through rural hamlets to the famous white dunes of Corralejo, finishing at a working aloe vera plantation. You'll eat proper Canarian food somewhere in the middle and see the island as locals know it—not as a resort postcard.
Highlights
- Ajuy's black sand beach and sea-carved cave system
- Mirador La Peñita's wide coastal views
- Betancuria's preserved colonial town centre
- Traditional Canarian lunch en route
- Corralejo's dramatic white sand dunes
- Working aloe vera farm and its uses
What to expect
You'll move steadily through contrasting terrain: start with coastal drama at Ajuy, where you can wade into caves if you choose, then climb inland to higher ground for views before dropping into Betancuria's quiet streets. The pace is unhurried—there's time to wander, photograph, and absorb each stop. Lunch breaks the day roughly in half. Expect a minibus ride between locations and a guide who knows the island's history and flora. The final plantation visit is educational rather than rushed.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes for cave exploration and uneven terrain. Sun protection essential on dunes. The tour suits all fitness levels but involves walking at each stop. Bring water. Pick-up from your accommodation or a central meeting point is included.
