Hiking a Volcano & Brunch

Hiking a Volcano & Brunch

This route allows us to walk around the Escanfraga Mountain, which is not only the highest on the island of Fuerteventura, at 533 metres high, but also one of the oldest volcanoes as it was created around 1 million years ago. The toponymy of Escanfraga is probably due to the union of the word Escan, a dye lichen that was collected in the area, and the word Fraga, a Latin term that among other meanings refers to broken and steep land. Challenge yourself to the adventure of climbing the rim of the volcano, rewarding yourself with breathtaking views over the north of Fuerteventura. As you walk, you will learn how the local people, in the past, used the land of the crater to survive, taking advantage of the low rainfall to grow cereals and with the help of the camels. In fact, this pathway is called as "The Camels Trail". After a well-deserved rest and some photos to immortalise the moment, we will start the return to the restaurant to enjoy a full tasty brunch.

Such fun! This is the second time we've booked this activity with the first one being in pre-lockdown 2020, which accidentally coincided with a calima so it was all very orange and Mad Max-y, which was great nonetheless, but this time around it was nice to see the blue sky and the surroundings for a change! Great guides, lots of fun. The route changed slightly from last time, we still started with the Dunas and then had another 3 stops after, so you get a chance to swap with your partner and rest up before the next stretch. We started in Corralejo and went as far as Villaverde, and back. Beware of dust and sand — there's a lot of it! I'd definitely be booking again!

Excellent day out giving us a good overview of the island .Pepe was a very knowledgeable guide who was able to answer all our questions . Just the right amount of time in each of the stops .Highly recommended.

Andrew is very knowledgeable and provides useful information but doesn't over do it. The old capital was probably the highlight for me as it includes a museum of the island.

5 out of 5 stars

The guide was excellent. The air conditioning in the bus could have been better, especially in the rear seat.
