Hike Volcán Montaña de la Arena

Immerse yourself in the fascinating Montaña de la Arena (Sand Mountain)!

Embark on this unique hiking route, following the trail that surrounds Montaña de la Arena (Sand Mountain) in Fuerteventura, a natural treasure that will surprise you at every turn.

We'll begin your adventure by picking you up from your accommodation at the agreed-upon time and heading to the north of the island, where the starting point of this fascinating route is located.

We'll begin the hike in an area of windmills, vestiges of the island's agricultural past. From there, we'll enter a lunar landscape composed of malpaís (badlands), an extensive layer of petrified lava adorned with craters and lava vents.

Less than 10,000 years old, this volcanic cone, the youngest on the island, rises majestically before us, inviting us to discover its secrets. The area stands out not only for its impressive natural beauty but also for its enormous archaeological value. Numerous caves were inhabited in pre-Hispanic times, housing remains and vestiges of ancient cultures.

As we advance, fields delimited by dry stone walls extend around us, offering panoramic views that will leave you speechless. We will observe the island from a unique perspective, appreciating the harmony between nature and human intervention.

This route offers a unique experience for those who enjoy nature and hiking, providing an opportunity to connect with the most authentic essence of Fuerteventura.
