Hiking tours

The GR 131 on Fuerteventura officially consists of 9 stages and totals 164 kilometres. As the island is very elongated, you walk through different landscapes:

volcanoes in the north
mountains in the center
desert plains in the south

This makes GR 131 on Fuerteventura a very varied hiking trail through unique nature. The stages are 16 kilometres long on average, ranging from 8 to 25 km. Regularly, you have to climb some 500 metres in altitude.

Day programs North & South

From Villa Vital, we offer the GR131 Fuerteventura hiking package in two parts:

one in which you hike the 5 northern stages of GR131 Fuerteventura
one where you hike the 5 (*) southern stages

As both packages are organised consecutively, you can also choose to hike the whole route in one go, in 10 hiking days with 3 rest days.

Check here the day program NORTH

Check here the day program SOUTH

* Officially, the southern route comprises 4 stages. However, we recommend splitting the stage from Pajara to La Pared into two.

Hiking package GR131: Practical information

During this hiking package GR131, you will be taken by us to the starting point of the stage each morning, together with the other hikers. You will then walk the respective stage, setting your own pace. Do you like to walk together with the others? Or do you prefer to walk alone? The choice is yours.
At a pre-arranged time (in the afternoon) we will pick everyone up again at the end point of the stage.

Good hiking shoes with sufficient profile are absolutely recommended! We also recommend taking 1 – 2 water bottles and a cap. There is usually little protection from the sun along the way.

Group composition

During previous packages the group composition was approximately as follows:

2/3 of the participants is female
2/3 of the participants book alone
3/4 of the participants is 40 – 60 years old

Tips !

If you are going to hike the GR 131, Paddy Dillon’s (English-language) guide “Trekking in the Canary Islands” is highly recommended. Clear route maps and lots of background information.

The very clear, and waterproof, “Fuerteventura Tour & Trail” map gives you a good idea where exactly you are and shows most of the through (hiking) trails.

What participants say …

“Last November, I got to enjoy a wonderful stay at Villa Vital for the 3rd time! The previous visits I had used the hiking package where Pascal and Sabine showed me the many beautiful places of Fuerteventura. We then also walked parts of the long-distance GR131 trail that runs across all the Canary Islands. On Fuerteventura, you can walk it in 9 or 10 (marked) day stages from north to south. For my third visit, I decided to walk the first 5 stages with Pascal and Sabine providing transport so we could recharge each day at the B&B with a delicious meal including Sabine’s speciality (desserts!). It is a fantastic and sometimes challenging route with beautiful views and the occasional feeling of being alone in the world. Highly recommended for the experienced hiker! I will definitely come back to Pascal and Sabine again to complete the entire route.
Greetings, Tjitske”

“Pascal and Sabine organised a very beautiful and varied walking week. Every day was a very different experience. Lunch along the way and ending the evening with a delicious meal with homemade desserts.
Villa Vital offered everything for a carefree week. The warmth of Pascal and Sabine, their good care, complete accommodation with sauna, swimming pool with sun possibilities, fine and spacious rooms and the nature that presented a different picture every day. Mountains, sea and dunes, there was something for everyone.
Meeting new people who all wanted to experience a nice walking week made this week complete.
Highly recommended to combine carefree and active with relaxation!
Greetings Ilse”

“A very nice holiday – central location and super hosts. We saw a lot of the island and without having to drive or figure out everything ourselves. Holiday in the true sense of the word.”

Marie-Helene (BE)December 2021

“Memorable holidays with hosts who know the island like the back of their hand. Every day possibility of a tailor-made excursion (for all ages). Casual atmosphere with a yet structured programme where there was room for specific wishes. Excellent cuisine and a rich breakfast buffet. Fine rooms, and excellent central location. Barely 20 min from the airport. We will definitely return.”

Terry (BE)December 2021

“The hiking week at Vila Vital exceeded all our expectations. Wonderful hikes in all the windy corners of Fuerteventura. Pascal and Sabine’s hospitality was immense, nothing was too much for them. Sabine drove us to the most beautiful areas on Fuerteventura and made great hikes with us. Every day they were surprising, through river beds, gorges to craters…. And afterwards it was Sabine who also drove us back to Vila Vital via the most beautiful routes. There, Pascal made sure the wine was also constantly replenished1f61c and Sabine made delicious salads and desserts. After stretching in the morning, Pascal provided a delicious breakfast, French toast, eggs, delicious! Unfortunately, the week consisted of only 7 days… We would have loved to stay longer, so we look forward to next time. Because there are many more wonderful walks in your written walking booklet.
Greetings Nico and Marian”
