Itinerary
Look forward to a hike in the western part of Fuerteventura and discover the Las Peñitas gorge near Ajuy and the chapel of the saints. Hike up the gorge to the place where the patron saint of Fuerteventura once appeared, the Virgen de la Peña. The figure of Saint Mary can still be found in a small chapel today. Enjoy a fantastic view over the entire valley, far from the beaten tourist track. With a little luck you might see wild goats and birds of prey.
Head to the fishing village of Ajuy, 5 kilometers away, for the second part of your hike. Discover this magnificent stretch of coast, which is not only a natural monument, but also the oldest part of the island. Hike along the rugged coastline to a secluded black beach with a giant rock gate. Listen to the legend of this seemingly mystical place in the middle of untouched nature.
Return to the village of Ajuy for a typical coffee. Let the day end in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere before going back to the hotel.
