What the experience includes
Our 4x4 all-terrain vehicles with a maximum capacity for 8 passengers, will allow us to know the northern area of Fuerteventura between Corralejo and El Cotillo through dirt tracks and small local roads.
The excursion takes us through the whole northwest of the municipality of La Oliva with its small villages, including different stops, as well as a short 10-minute walk to see the crater of the Bayuyo Volcano. Then we will reach one of the magical places of the island of Fuerteventura, the beach of Majanicho. This beach is somewhat rustic and has a lot of personalities as it is located in a fishing village.
After a 30-minute along the coast, at Punta Ballena, 5 kilometres north of the village of El Cotillo, you will find the El Tostón lighthouse. The lighthouse took 6 years to build and came into operation in 1897.
After visiting the lighthouse, we will arrive at Playa de la Concha, one of the best beaches on the island, with fine white sand and protected by a natural reef rich in fish and other marine organisms. We will have time to swim and enjoy the scenery for about an hour. We will have lunch in a local restaurant and then head to the village of La Oliva to visit an Aloe Vera plantation.
To finish the tour and before returning to the hotels, we will visit Corralejo Dunes, one of Fuerteventura's best-kept natural treasures.
The design of this excursion, its combination of beach time and adventure, makes it very dynamic and attractive.
