Program details

Come on this unforgettable tour, easily the best way to discover this marvellous island. Fuerteventura is famous for its magnificent beaches but you should not leave without getting to know the fascinating interior of the island. Discover its agricultural hinterland where you'll find charming villages where time seems to have stood still and then visit the breathtakingly beautiful beaches in the relatively unknown south of the island.

After being picked up from your resort, the first stop will be Tiscaminita, where we will visit an Aloe Vera plantation and factory. You will be able to see how different products are made from this amazing cactus. From here there are stunning views of the beautiful coastline to the south of the island so remember to bring your camera! Then the next stop will be Pajara, a tiny, lush oasis hidden amidst the arid mountains – you should not miss its lovely church decorated with mysterious carvings.

Next we will then drive on to the former capital, Betancuria. This small settlement was founded in 1404 and was the capital city of the island until the 19th Century. Here we will visit the Casa Santa Maria, a traditional manor house where you can admire a collection of local artefacts and an audio-visual display on the customs of the inhabitants of the island. We will have lunch on the road. Then we will make a brief stop at the Mirador de Morro Veloso during our return to the north of the island, on the way to La Oliva, where we will stop at the Casa de los Coroneles, the old residence of the governing authorities of the island.
