The Journey: Crossing to Fuerteventura

We will actually begin our excursion by embarking on the ferry, operated by the Fred Olsen Company or similar, which will take us from Playa Blanca, in southern Lanzarote, to Corralejo, in northern Fuerteventura.

In barely half an hour, we will have navigated the 14 kilometres that separate these two islands. During the journey, you can enjoy the views from the deck, where you will see Lobos Island, a wild and uninhabited islet that was once home to monk seals.

Cultural Stops: Aloe Vera & Sacred Mountains

We have designed an itinerary to make the most of your time. Our route begins in Corralejo, heading toward La Oliva to our first stop: an Aloe Vera plantation. Here you will discover the medicinal secrets of the Aloe barbadiensis miller.

Back on the bus, we will pass by the sacred Tindaya Mountain, a place of cultural and geological interest that holds magical value for the island’s aboriginal history.

Betancuria: The First Capital

We continue south through the valleys to reach Betancuria, the island’s first capital and arguably the most beautiful village on Fuerteventura. We will have time to walk through its historic streets where time seems to have stopped.

After a lunch break near Pájara (lunch not included but available to purchase), we start our return journey north.

The Highlight: Corralejo Sand Dunes National Park

We saved the best for last. Before taking the ferry back, we will stop at the Dunes of Corralejo National Park. This protected area encompasses 2,600 hectares of white sand dunes contrasting with the turquoise ocean waters.
