What you’ll be doing
Day One: Arrive in Fuerteventura
Day Two: Lobos Island Nature Park
Day Three: Day At leisure
Today we’ll enjoy a day at leisure to rest and enjoy the hotels facilities. If you fancy a change of scenery, we have the opportunity to join an optional half day excursion (additional cost). After a brief drive, we reach a goat cheese farm, home to one of Fuerteventura’s most traditional products. We will then continue to the archaeological site of La Atalayita, where we will explore an ancient settlement once inhabited by the island’s indigenous people. Our tour concludes in Pozo Negro, a small village known for its dark sand beach.
Day Four: The Jandía Isthmus
Today’s walk takes us through a very special landscape, discovering the ecosystem of shifting sands or 'jable' which occupies the 5km wide Isthmus separating the Jandía Massif from the rest of Fuerteventura. Our walk takes us for a few kilometres across the white sands that stretch across the entire territory, before heading towards the coast to the windward side of the Isthmus. As we approach this stunning coastline, we are greeted by the magnificent geological formations shaped by the relentless force of the ocean and the persistent trade winds. Over millions of years, these natural elements have sculpted the fossil dunes that stretch along Fuerteventura's coastline, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Day Five: Volcanoes and dunes in the Corralejo Natural Park
Our penultimate walk of the week combines two hikes in the extreme north of the island. During the first, we discover the island's most recent volcanic complex. The route runs alongside five volcanoes and passes between craters and lava fields. We'll discover a number of wonders, including Calderon Hondo - a volcano dating back some 50,000 years and part of a volcanic alignment that offers fantastic views over the north of Fuerteventura, the mountain of Tindaya and the neighbouring island of Lanzarote.
Day Six: Day at leisure
Today we'll enjoy a well earned rest and enjoy the hotels facilities. Alterantively, we can join an optional excursion to Caldera Gayría (additional cost). We will climb to the summit of this volcanic cone at approximately 460 metres, offering impressive views over the surrounding lava landscape (a moderate-level route of around 1 hour and 30 minutes). Afterwards, we will visit the Molinos Interpretation Centre in Tiscamanita (entrance fee €4 per person), where we will learn about the history of the island’s windmills, which played a key role in Fuerteventura’s economy and are now recognised as important cultural heritage sites.
Day Seven: The Village and Massif of Betancuria
For our final walk of the holiday, we head for the Betancuria rural park and the island's former capital - Betancuria. This beautiful village, with its traditional architecture, was founded in the 15th century by the Norman Knight Jean de Bethencourt. After visiting this historic village, we begin our hike along a path leading up to the crest of the Macizo.
Day Eight: Depart Fuerteventura
We say goodbye to Fuerteventura after a week of fantastic walking and depart for Fuerteventura Airport for our onward flight.

Essential Information
Whether you'd like us to arrange your flights or prefer to book your own, we're here to make the process easy. Our team can secure flights from the location that suits you best, or provide all the arrival and departure details you'll need if booking independently.
Shortly before your holiday, you will be invited to join an optional WhatsApp group to connect with your fellow travellers and your Tour Leader.
It is important that you have the correct footwear. It is essential to wear walking boots that are comfortable and preferably lightweight, with some ankle support and a good grip. If you already have a pair of boots that you are happy walking in (including during hot/wet weather and on hard ground), then bring these along. However, if you are bringing new footwear, do make sure they are well broken in before you arrive. The weather, even in summer, can be unpredictable. We would therefore recommend you travel with clothing suitable for all conditions, and suggest you use the following checklist as a guideline of what to take:
- Walking boots with good ankle support
- Waterproofs – jacket and trousers
- Walking poles – recommended as they provide good support for the knees, particularly on downhill sections of walks and when conditions are wet/slippery
- Lightweight trousers and shorts with pockets
- Shirts or t-shirts for walking in
- Walking socks – several pairs
- Lightweight fleece or jumper
- Hat & gloves
- Daysack/rucksack for walking
- Umbrella – it can be used also for protection from the sun as well as rain
- Lightweight drinking bottle to carry water whilst walking
- Small first aid kit – plasters, insect repellant, etc
- Good, high factor sunscreen, sunhat and sunglasses – the sun’s strength is often multiplied in mountainous areas.
Guided walks are included as part of this trip. Your dedicated walking guide will brief you in resort on the daily walking programme.
The walking programme is graded by difficulty, and you can expect to walk varying distances with a range of ascents and descents. Some walks may be challenging, with uneven or rough terrain underfoot and sections at higher altitude. Please refer to the day-by-day itinerary for full details of each walk.
A good level of physical fitness is required to fully enjoy this trip.
It is important that you consider whether your chosen trip is suitable for your level of fitness, mobility and any medical conditions or additional needs. If you are unsure, please contact our team before booking. We will be happy to discuss the trip requirements and your individual circumstances to help you decide whether the trip is suitable for you.
We are committed to treating all customers fairly and will consider any reasonable adjustments where possible. Please let us know before booking if you have a disability, medical condition or any additional requirements that may affect your trip. This allows us to assess whether we can safely and appropriately accommodate your needs and to ensure you have the best possible trip experience.
Care should be taken at all times, particularly on uneven or wet terrain. If you normally use walking poles, we recommend bringing them with you. Sturdy walking boots or walking shoes are essential.
Please note that the route and content of the walking programme may need to change during the trip, at the discretion of the specialist walking guide or local organiser, if local conditions require.
If you have any concerns during your trip, please speak to your specialist walking guide or Solos Tour Leader.
