What to expect

Everything that makes the western highlands of Fuerteventura special comes together on this walking tour. Your guide will lead you through one of the island's greenest areas and barren landscapes with a Wild West feel, all the way to the fishing village of Ajuy – and there's a few hidden surprises on this well-known route. Fernando, one of our insider guides, says ‘Every year, on the third Saturday of September, thousands of islanders dressed in traditional Canarian costume pilgrimage through the gorge to worship Fuerteventura's patron saint.'

Discover off the beaten track parts of Fuerteventura as you embark on foot, crisscrossing valleys from the hamlet of Vega de Rio Palmas to the hermitage of Las Peñitas. There'll be plenty of photo stops and the chance to rest in the shade under one of the many date trees which dot the route. Thanks to the surrounding sea of green vegetation and otherworldly rock formations, locals refer to the area as the ‘Oasis of Fuerteventura'. Film fans, though, can spot it in one of the scenes from the Marvel movie, The Eternals.

Continue the trail along a gorge towards the coast and we'll reach the wave washed Ajuy. This remote village is famed for its sea caves, which you'll get time to explore along with its black volcanic beaches. Stroll along the shore at El Jurado and treat your feet to a dip in the refreshing water of the Atlantic. We'll tuck into a well-deserved picnic before heading back.

Explore Fuerteventura's plentiful supply of sights and scenery on an exclusive tour just for you and your party. You'll visit Pajara, Ajuy and Betancuria and there's a cheese tasting experience and a traditional lunch included, too. Yurena, one of our local guides, says, ‘We're so proud of our majorero cheese. The goats have been here for centuries, and their milk reflects how happy they are with island life – it's top quality, very pure, and has a high protein and fat content, making it perfect for cheese production.'First up is an aloe vera plantation, where you'll learn all about the plant's reputed healing properties. Then it's on to Pajara to visit its enigmatic Aztec-looking church. Next up is the remote village of Ajuy, with its black volcanic beach with colourful fishing boats. There's also a pit stop at Las Peñitas viewpoint – a standout selfie spot. We'll discover beautiful Betancuria, too. The island's first capital is now a sleepy, whitewashed village that's home to St Mary's Church – the oldest in the Canaries – whose simple façade hides a richly decorated interior.When you've worked up an appetite, there's a tasty lunch of local specialities to look forward to in Valle de Santa Ines. Hosted at a family-owned restaurant, your meal will be prepared with local, seasonal produce from the island. In the afternoon, you'll visit a goat farm, where you'll sample majorero cheese together with local jams and homemade mojo sauces as well as honey rum.
