This tour offers a unique way to visit Fuerteventura. Pick up your ticket reserved by us in Playa Blanca at the harbour where a fast boat will be waiting for you for the crossing to Corralejo, Fuerteventura. On arrival in Corralejo, there is a short transfer to the start of the buggy tour. The first destination is the dunes of Corralejo, providing a feeling of being in the Sahara desert. During the break, you can walk up the biggest dunes and take wonderful pictures of the natural park with Lanzarote and Lobos islands in the background. The tour continues in the direction of Tamaragua, a small village near Corralejo, a rural and volcanic area. The next destination is the Villaverde region where goats and camels roam the farms and the famous goat cheese of Fuerteventura is produced. The tour eventually arrives at Parque Holandes for a quick snack at the restaurant Don Pepe. After the break, the group travels to Corralejo for a visit before returning to Lanzarote.

We will pick you up at your hotel or meeting point, then set off to discover the most beautiful and emblematic places in North Fuerteventura. We will start in Corralejo, make our first stop at the Bayuyo volcano, continue on the scenic road between the volcanoes to get to Lajares and then head to El Cotillo Lighthouse where we will make our second stop. Also in El Cotillo we will make another stop at Castillo del Tostón from which you can admire the wonderful coastline, with its cliffs and endless beautiful beach. Here we will make a short coffee stop, to go to the toilet or buy some souvenirs, all overlooking the beautiful marina of El Cotillo. We will set off again for La Oliva, where we will stop at its small but charming church square (where there is also a snack bar and toilets), depart to visit the Mills of Villaverde, from where you can admire the Arena Volcano and enjoy views of the island's hinterland. Our last stop will be the dunes of Corralejo, but first a short trip to admire from the window the Holy Mountain of Tindaya, the wonderful road that goes up to Vallebrón and down to Caldereta. Last stop, when the light is wonderful, on the magical dunes of Corralejo that will really leave you breathless. During the transfers I will tell you a little bit about the history of Fuerteventura, the places where we will stop and those we will see in passing. During the stops, on the other hand, I will take beautiful, fun and spontaneous photographs, without boring poses, you can enjoy the scenery and get a taste of Fuerteventura's famous "quiet life." And if you want to take some photos with your phone to send to friends right away, don't worry, I'll help you with that too. The excursion will take place in a 9-passenger van, but the group will consist of a maximum of 6 people, to give everyone their well-deserved attention and to do things calmly and in absolute relaxation. The tour is also suitable for families with children. I have more than 15 years of experience as a family photographer and in tourism, so don't worry, your kids will love me and have a great time.

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.
