A route that will take you to Fuerteventura from Puerto del Rosario, the island's capital (also known as Puerto Cabras), to the north of the island to reach the tourist destination of Corralejo, where you'll skirt its famous and impressive dunes and reach ancient volcanoes that have been dormant for millennia. You'll also enjoy pedaling along the remote trails that border Fuerteventura's wild northwest coast and over cliffs overlooking beautiful beaches with raging waves.
The climb to the Morro Velosa mountain pass, ending in the beautiful colonial town of Betancuria (where Jean de Béthencourt began the conquest of the Canary Islands for the crown), will immerse you in Spanish history.
You'll change coasts, heading for the quieter southeast coast, and you'll also change landscapes: beaches and trails, climbing and descending ravines... You'll have the chance to swim at the largest and most beautiful beaches in the Canary Islands. Don't forget the optional round-trip hike to the Mirador de los Canarios, with stunning views over the wild beaches of Cofete.
Finally, from the tourist town of Morro Jable, we'll head into the Jandía mountain range and the mysterious expanses of the Cofete beaches, where a six-day trip concludes. A journey through vast, remote spaces that invite us to journey into our inner selves.
