La Senda step by step

1. Home: After picking up the clients at their accommodation at the established time, we will go to the starting point of this route that allows us to climb the Pico de la Zarza, the highest mountain of Fuerteventura with its 807 meters, located in the south of the island and within the natural park of Jandia.

Esta montaña es conocida por los majoreros como Oreja Burro, porque, junto con el Pico de la Palma, desde la lejanía recuerdan la forma de las orejas de este animal.

2. Climbing to the top: Climbing up the leeward side you will find some steep sections, but once you reach the top the spectacular views will make you forget your tiredness.

We will be on the roof of the island, touching the sky with our hands and at our feet kilometres of wild beaches, the beaches of Cofete and Barlovento, and we can see the Jandía arch with its steep walls, the remains of an ancient volcanic building.

3. Immortalise your moment. After a well-deserved rest and a few photos to immortalise the moment, we will start the return to the starting point, and then return to the accommodation.

Note: Don't forget to bring suitable clothing and footwear, sun protection, water, hat, picnic and windbreaker.
