Stop at: Corralejo Dunes

One of the best kept natural treasures in Fuerteventura, Dunas de Corralejo. With a total area of 2,600 hectares, 2.5 kilometers wide and 10 kilometers long, this enormous dune field runs parallel to the northeast coast of the island, in the municipality of La Oliva.

Declared a natural park in 1982 by the neighboring Islote de Lobos, it wasn't until 1994 that these dunes received their own recognition under the official name of Dunas de Corralejo Natural Park. Under the extensive blanket of white sand, in turn, lies the typical Canarian Malpais hidden, an ochre-colored volcanic soil that originated more than 50,000 years ago during the simultaneous eruption of the numerous volcanoes that dot the area.
