La Oliva walks
The Calderon Hondo and the Montagne Rouge
This hike takes you to the summit of Calderon Hondo, a magnificent cauldron with a deep, well-marked crater.
On the way back via Montaña Colorada, you'll enjoy lovely panoramic views of the malpais de la Arena and the other volcanoes of northern Fuerteventera in the distance...
⚠️Some technical difficulties (hand assistance) and a little gas for those prone to vertigo on the crater crossing.
Calderón Hondo Volcano Tour
A relatively short hike offering beautiful panoramic views of the volcano and surrounding countryside.
The dunes of Corralejo
The dunes of Corralejo in Fuerteventura offer a natural spectacle of incomparable beauty. Formed by volcanic eruptions and trade winds, these dunes of marine origin stretch for eight kilometres of fine white sand to the south of the town. Protected by conservation laws, they are a must-see destination for those seeking both the discovery of the seafront and the serenity of the dunes.
Montana Roja
A magnificent hike to the top of the red mountain, offering views of Lobos Island opposite and the white sand dunes of Corralejo Natural Park. This old inactive volcano is known as Montaña Roja because of its layers of deep red rock and stone interspersed with green rock.
Tour of the Sacred Mountain of Tindaya
A very easy hike as it is mostly flat or gently sloping on a very wide path. The walk itself is not particularly interesting, but the view is beautiful. Please note that it is forbidden to climb to the summit as the site is protected. It is easy to park at the start on a large dirt area on the right-hand side of a bend, after leaving the road connecting La Oliva to Tindaya.
Bayuyo Tower
The Great Route 131 (GR®-131) is part of an international trail that crosses the island of Fuerteventura and the other Canary Islands. The route takes you from the centre of Corralejo, leaving it a few kilometres further on to climb Mount Bayuyo, which reveals all the beauty of the landscapes of northern Fuerteventura, as well as views of Lanzarote and Lobos.

Barrancos de los Molinos and Fuerte Ventura
A magnificent walk (a real surprise!) in a wild, very quiet barranco, carpeted with greenery around a permanent stream, with birds (ducks, waders, eagles) and goats roaming free. The water comes from the rock, 500 m after the car park. A haven of wild peace and a real surprise in such an arid environment.
Montana Roja
It is best to park in Calle de Francia, but be careful of the yellow no-parking signs.
The circular route can be difficult for people with balance problems, and there can be very strong winds at the summit. Good shoes are necessary.
It is possible to take a detour and walk through the crater, which offers magnificent views of the volcano's ridge.
Route of Los Ajaches Natural Park and its beaches
Magnificent white sand beaches, some of which are sheltered from the wind. Please note that the dirt access road is very dusty.
Hacha Grande summit, canyons and secret beaches
On the program: peaks, canyons, goats, secret beaches, wells and a quiet beach. If you finish this hike at the end of the day, at sunset, you'll be under a rosy sky that is gradually studded with stars. Apart from its length, the ascent to Hacha Grande is the main difficulty, as the trail is sometimes hard to see.
Barrancos and wild beaches around Femés
An easy walk through hardly visited valleys, including three almost deserted beaches. Good trail for most of the way.
⚠️However, a passage looks very impressive before you start, but the path is well marked and it will only be a problem for people who are very prone to vertigo.
4 beaches path in Playa Quemada - Lanzarote
Starting from the village of Playa Quemada, this short hike provides access to 4 hardly visited beaches. There's nothing complicated about the route, apart from a few overhangs above the cliffs, which can be impressive, especially on windy days. The 4 beaches in question are Playa Quemada, Playa de la Arena, Playa del Paso and Playa la Casa. The latter holds a little surprise in store.
Las Peñitas Arch
This short but demanding hike takes you, not without difficulty, to the Arco de las Peñitas, an impressive natural arch in a desert setting worthy of the American West.
You then reach a dam on the Barranco de las Peñitas, above which lies not a reservoir but a small plain reminiscent of an oasis.
On the way back, the passage through the Ermita de la Peña and the crossing of a small gorge will spice up the end of the route, if that were still necessary.
