Description

Discover the most deserted and mysterious island in the Canary Islands on two wheels

Fuerteventura is a unique destination for adventure cycling. An open, arid, and spectacular territory where the landscape is reminiscent of remote places like the desert, but surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.

This mountain bike route through Fuerteventura invites you to cross the island from north to south in a multi-stage journey that combines endless beaches, dormant volcanoes, ravines, and secluded trails. A nearly 300 km route that allows you to discover the island's most authentic essence, far from mass tourism.

The route takes us from the famous dunes of Corralejo to the mountains of Betancuria , passing through the wild northwest coast and ending at the southern tip, on the Jandía peninsula.
