Hiking tours
From Villa Vital you can explore the unique landscape of Fuerteventura. Together with the rest of the group you will make a nice hike every day. Sabine and/or Pascal will accompany you.
One day you will walk a longer trip (3 – 4 hours) or two short routes, the other day a bit shorter (1 – 2 hours). This leaves enough time to relax by the pool.
Enjoy the beautiful views in the middle of the mountain landscape around Betancuria. Here you sometimes meet a few other hikers, usually no one. Of course we visit Betancuria itself, a beautiful town with beautiful buildings.
From the ridge in the middle of the island you have views of both the east and west coast of Fuerteventura.
Or be enchanted by the rugged west coast. Walking along narrower paths with on one side the ocean and on the other side rocky coasts carved out by wind and water.
How about a hike to a ‘hidden’ chapel in the middle of a worn out gorge. A very pleasant surprise, after you reach the gorge via palm oases and a dry riverbed.

Practical information
For most hikes we first drive a little bit by car. We do this with our own cars. This makes us very flexible in terms of departure and arrival time. Luckily there are never any traffic jams on Fuerteventura 🙂
We walk the routes ‘as a group’, of course taking into account any differences in pace. Because Sabine & Pascal often go both as guides, we can split up the group if necessary.
Before or after the hikes we will have lunch together in a local restaurant. In the course of time we have found ourselves a number of good, affordable restaurants where you can enjoy the local delicacies.
Beautiful views from the protected nature reserve Jandia, in the south of Fuerteventura.
Heaviness of the hikes
All hikes have been carefully selected and walked by ourselves. They are suitable for anyone with a good basic condition. The duration of the walks is 1 – 3 hours. Sometimes we do 2 walks a day.
A single hike sometimes has a more challenging part, but it is never dangerous! Most walks are in hilly terrain, the number of altimeters is maximum about 600 m.
A small backpack or waist bag is handy for taking water, mobile / camera and extra shirt.
Good sturdy hiking or sports shoes with a profile are sufficient. Heavy mountain boots are not necessary.
Central mountain landscape with many aloe vera plants and views of mountain village Betancuria.
