A Walk to the spectacular Ajuy caves, which are the oldest formations in the Canary Islands. They belong to the basal complex of Fuerteventura, created by the submarine flow of lava and sediment that rose to the surface and began to form the island 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. The rocks emerged from a depth of 3,000 metres and started to form the base that these days supports this island and that of Lanzarote. The caves are extremely important from a geological and paleontological perspective and are among the 150 sites of primary geological interest in the world. Visiting them means travelling back in time to the very origins of Fuerteventura and the Canary Islands themselves. Pierre: • Walk to Ajuy caves are one of these examples of nature. • If the weather conditions permit, we will also visit the caves on the west sea coast.

The oldest and first capital of Fuerteventura. Your guide will tell you all about it …

AN other great Panoramic View on this daytrip. From the Las Peñitas viewpoint, in Betancuria, you will see an evocative view: a green oasis in the middle of the desert. The underground river that flows under the Las Peñitas ravine is created by human hands and forms a small lake dotted with native plants. The open esplanade of the viewpoint is the perfect place for taking quality photos. Home of the local inhabitants, the chipmunks.

The church is an 18th-century building built by agreement among the island's residents, who decided to build a new church in honor of their patron saint, the Virgin of Our Lady of the Rock. The church is a single-nave building with a hipped roof and a vestry attached to the gospel side, also with a hipped roof. Limestones are very present. If time allows we will visit the little church…

One of the hotspots… incredible views from the North… The place of the statues of the Guanche brothers & last kings… We will stop there if the weather conditions are favorable!

Fuste Castle, San Buenaventura Tower, or Caleta de Fuste is a defensive tower located in the town of Caleta de Fuste. It has been a Site of Cultural Interest since 1949. Its main function was to defend the bay of Caleta de Fuste, one of the island's three main ports. In its early years of operation, its walls were expanded from the initial 3 meters to the current thickness of almost 6 meters, presumably after being damaged by a cannonball in a pirate attack. In the 19th century, it passed into private hands, probably due to its loss of military usefulness. In the 1980s, a tourist complex was built, the pools of which now surround the building.

The Sicasumbre Viewpoint, located about 300 meters above sea level, is one of the best sky-gazing spots on the island. The beauty of the area is perfectly combined with the facilities offered at the viewpoint, from information via signage to mounts so those who wish can comfortably use their cameras and telescopes. Pierre says: A panoramic & stunning viewpoint on clear cloudy free days. We will stop there if the weather conditions are favorable!

Also known for its tomato cultivation and of course the series film Doctor Who. Also very famous for the fact that every month the camel market was held here and the heaviest battle in the history of Majorero. The battle against the English in the 19th century.

Pájara is one of the oldest towns in Fuerteventura and was a very early settlement of Betancuria. It survived the complete destruction during the Arab invasion of 1593, when all of Betancuria was reduced to dust. The town takes its name from the hen pheasant, as seen on its coat of arms. See the sights along this beautiful route with explanations from our local guide.

An area of great landscape value The protected landscape of Vallebrón is located between the towns of La Oliva and Puerto del Rosario, in the north of the island of Fuerteventura. It is a geomorphological entity that is representative of the island and of great landscape value. It covers an area of almost 1,680 hectares, which represents 3.5% of the protected area of the island. Vallebrón forms a landscape characterised by an elongated ridge with a knife-shaped relief, flanked by two large U-shaped ravines, Valle Largo and Valle Chico. The southernmost point of the ridge coincides with the Montaña de la Muda, a place of historical interest due to an archaeological site.
