El Arco y la Cuevas

This easy walk with two short paths will allow you to see landscapes and the spirit of Fuerteventura while also getting closer to the world of hiking and nature.
After our guide picks you up from your accommodation at the designated time (see below for pickup places), we will go to the rural park of Betancuria, where the first tour begins. We’ll trek up a ravine to find a sacred site before heading to a stunning arch sculpted into the rock.

We will next go to Ajuy, a fishing hamlet with geological and historical significance designated as a natural monument. We will reach the volcanic caverns by climbing an easy walk.
We may also reach Jury beach, where the power of nature has produced a natural arc eroding volcanic rocks if you continue with vigour and a desire to learn more. The course will conclude at Ajuy’s black sand beach. We’ll return to the hotel after a short break and a few shots.
