- Dunas De Corralejo - The Corralejo Natural Park, a UNESCO-protected area on Fuerteventura, spans over 2,600 hectares. It was designated a natural park by UNESCO in 1996.
Located in the north of the island, within the municipality of La Oliva, the Corralejo dunes are the island’s second most significant tourist attraction after its white sandy beaches. They are the largest dunes in the Canary Islands!

- Ajuy - Discover the Caves. Take a walk (if desired) to the remarkable Ajuy caves, the oldest formations in the Canaries.
These caves are part of Fuerteventura’s basal complex, formed by the submarine flow of lava and sediment that surfaced and began shaping the island 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period.
The rocks emerged from a depth of 3,000 meters, forming the foundation that now supports this island and Lanzarote.
The caves hold significant geological and paleontological importance and are among the 150 sites of primary geological interest worldwide.
Visiting them offers a journey back in time to the origins of Fuerteventura and the Canary Islands.
