About this experience
Discover charming inland village of Betancuria and visit its colonial church. Admire the unusual Aztec-looking church façade in the pretty village of Pajara. Sample the island's best-known cheeses and visit an aloe vera plantation. Explore sea caves and black sand beaches in the fishing village of Ajuy. Expert local guide with an unrivalled knowledge of Fuerteventura and its history.
Stroll through timeworn village plazas and into pretty colonial churches, investigate sea caves and learn about typical produce. Between stops you'll visit lofty viewpoints to admire Fuerteventura's unusually stark landscape. It may look barren but Marta, one of our expert guides, says, ‘There are 44 different bird species found on Fuerteventura, despite the lack of trees. That's only four fewer than on the forested island of Madeira.'
