  Explore the Caves. Walk (if you like) to the spectacular Ajuy caves, which are the oldest formations in the Canaries. They belong to the basal complex of Fuerteventura, created by the submarine flow of lava and sediment that rose to the surface and began to form the island 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. The rocks emerged from a depth of 3,000 metres and started to form the base that these days supports this island and that of Lanzarote. The caves are extremely important from a geological and paleontological perspective and are among the 150 sites of primary geological interest in the world. Visiting them means travelling back in time to the very origins of Fuerteventura and the Canary Islands themselves. Did you knew? • Walk to Ajuy caves are one of these examples of nature. Declared a Natural Monument in 1987, they are part of Betancuria Rural Park. If the weather conditions permit, we will also visit the caves on the west sea coast.

  Mirador de las Penitas

  AN other great Panoramic View on this daytrip. From the Las Peñitas viewpoint, in Betancuria, you will see an evocative view: a green oasis in the middle of the desert. The underground river that flows under the Las Peñitas ravine is created by human hands and forms a small lake dotted with native plants. The open esplanade of the viewpoint is the perfect place for taking quality photos. Home of the local inhabitants, the chipmunks.

• Tindaya (Pass by)

  The holy volcano Tindaya and his historic background. It is here where we can admire the 501-metre-high anthracite volcano Tindaya… For the pre-Hispanic Canary Islanders, the village and volcano of Tindaya on Fuerteventura was a sacred place, because they created a kind of open-air temple on the top, where they performed all kinds of rituals. With these rites they summoned the rain or predicted astrological phenomena.

  Puerto del Rosario is the capital of the Canary Island of Fuerteventura. We drive through the center so that you have a good impression. This city was founded around 1800 as a port for the export of soda and grain. Before 1957, the town was named Puerto de Cabras (Spanish for "goat port"), because of the nearby watering hole. Today the port serves passengers and goods. There is also a large barracks of the Spanish Legion here. You will also find the Nuestra Senora del Rosario Church and opposite it the Casa Museo de Unamuno (Spanish Literature).
