Description

The GR131 Fuerteventura  is the second island of the long-distance route.

After Lanzarote, Fuerteventura is the second island and also the longest of the GR131. From North to South you cover a distance of 160 km.
Fuerteventura is completely different from Lanzarote. An island that mainly has the beige colors and azure white beaches. An island with many secrets and beautiful stories.
What will we see when we walk across this beautiful island? The first is the small wonderful island of Los Lobos, where exactly 4 inhabitants are registered according to the municipality. The first two days we walk fairly flat to the center of the island, the Betancuria mountains! Here you feel small in this large piece of nature. This trek of 160 kilometers we walk in 8 days from north to south Fuerteventura. The tour is not extremely difficult but does require fitness; every day we walk an average of 20 kilometers on unpaved paths with more or less altimeters in desolate and rough landscapes.

  • Trek up to 8 people
  • History
  • Walking through desolate landscapes
  • Between the old volcanoes
  • Special overnight stays in Casas Rurales
  • White beaches with azure sea
  • Beautiful villages

1| Arrival in Corralejo
You can fly (depending on your preference and the flight price) to Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. If you fly to Lanzarote, you can travel from the airport by bus to Playa Blanca in the far south. From here you take the ferry to Corralejo on the northern tip of Fuerteventura. You will be met at the port. If you fly directly to Fuerteventura, we will be waiting at the airport to take you to the accommodation in Corralejo.

2| Departure to Los Lobos – 8km
We leave by boat for the first leg of the walk to the island of Los Lobos.
We arrive by boat in a beautiful bay at the “Casas del Puertito”.
This is where the 8 kilometer walk to the north starts. At the northern cape of the island, the lighthouse’s viewing platform offers stunning views of three islands: Los Lobos, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

Distance: 8km
Height difference: +62 up /- 62 down

3| Depart Corralejo for La Oliva
We leave to the south and pass some volcanic craters. When we look back towards Corralejo at some height, we have a beautiful view of Lanzarote and Los Lobos. We pass the village of Lajares and take a short break there. This first stage is fairly flat, but the sandy surface makes walking quite difficult. Our destination today is La Oliva, a place with history. After arrival we can relax at the accommodation or visit the village. There is a terrace and a small supermarket for the necessary refreshments.

Distance: 22km
Height difference: +423 up /- 205 down

4| La Oliva to Tefia
After breakfast we set off for this relatively short stage towards Tefia. The silence of the island and not meeting anyone will have already been noticed. Away from tourism and completely in the nature of the island. We pass through the village of Tindaya, which lies at the foot of an almost 400 meter high volcano. This mountain was sacred to the Old Canarians. Even now there are still many legends, but the mountain is protected and can only be visited to a limited extent. We take a break in a local bar and continue our way south.
We spend the night in a rural accommodation full of peace and atmosphere where you will witness a fantastic sunset while enjoying a delicious dinner.

Distance: 21km
Height difference: +230 up /- 242 down

5| Tefia to Betancuria
Climbing starts today. After Valle de Santa Inés we really go up steeply. At the top we arrive at a viewpoint with two giant statues, the “Estatuas de Guise y Ayose”. The bronze statues of 4.5 meters high depict the two Guanche kings Guise and Ayose, rulers of Fuerteventura from the distant past. When we descend the “Montaña Tegú” on the other side, we see the white buildings of Betancuria in a lovely green valley. This beautiful place owes its name to the conquistador Béthencourt. We go to the oldest accommodation of this tour, which is full of history.

Distance: 17km
Height difference: +493 up /- 290 down

6| Betancuria to Pajara
Today is a tough day with big climbs, but with great views. We leave Betancuria and immediately walk to the highest point of the day. We pass through valleys where silence reigns. The only sound you hear are the birds of prey flying over the valleys. A piece of nature that you will never forget from this island. The climbs make this a tough trip.
After the break we continue our path to climb further. Once at the top we have special and spectacular views over the Betancuria Mountains. After descending about 7 kilometers, we reach our final destination for today: Pájara.

Distance: 18km
Elevation difference: +505 up /- 698 down

7| Pajara to La Pared
Today is probably the toughest stage. We leave from Pájara and soon see the mountains looming in front of us. This is the most beautiful area of ​​Fuerteventura. You feel one with nature here. The silence sometimes hurts your ears, but in one word: beautiful! Breathtaking views to both coasts of the island await you. On a clear day you can even see the peak of Mount Teíde on the neighboring island of Tenerife on the western horizon!

After a last grueling climb, we gradually descend towards La Pared, today’s final destination, with a beautiful view of the west coast. Here we stay in a luxury hotel with wonderful beds and a swimming pool. For those who are not yet tired enough, there are sports facilities. There is a supermarket at the hotel. The possibility to eat here in the evening is available. A huge breakfast buffet is included.

Distance: 26.5km
Elevation difference: +683 up /- 846 down

8| La Pared to Costa Calma
Today we leave early for Costa Calma. Immediately south of La Pared, the landscape changes strikingly. Leaving the mountains behind us, we now walk through a kind of rolling desert landscape. Compared to the past few days a pretty flat trip.
At the narrowest part of the island we cross over to the east coast towards Costa Calma. A popular place for surfers because of the favorable wind that blows here all year round.

Distance: 14km
Height difference: +212 up /- 220 down

9| Free day Costa Calma
Costa Calma is a cozy not too big tourist resort. The sun worshiper can relax by the pool or by the sea. Those who want to keep moving can enjoy themselves on the kilometre-long sandy beach. In the evening there is plenty of choice of restaurants and bars.

10| Costa Calma to Morro Jable
The last two days of the trek we mostly walk south along the beach. Today we walk to Morro Jable, where we will spend the next two nights. Morro Jable still has the atmosphere of a former fishing village, but it has now merged with the very touristy Jandia next door. There is plenty of shopping here. You stumble across the souvenir shops and terraces. However, the promenade in the old Morro Jable is very atmospheric and a table right on the water can always be found with some luck and patience. We stay in a nice accommodation with a swimming pool.

Distance: 17.6km
Height difference: +139 up /- 123 down

11| Morro Jable to Punto de Jandia
The last leg of our trek is on the program. A trip to the very southern tip of Fuerteventura: the lighthouse on “Punto de Jandia”. Still a lot of up and down, which makes this trip quite difficult. You can see the lighthouse from afar, making it seem like you’re almost there, but looks can be deceiving. The road continues along the coast.
After we have reached the end point with the group and have taken the necessary photos, we return to the small village to relax in the modest restaurant. Here we are picked up by a van and brought back to Morro Jable over an endless unpaved road. Nice if we can look back on an unforgettable hike in the evening, while enjoying a drink!

Distance: 23km
Height difference: +267 up /- 259 down

Additional information

Programma

1, Aankomst in Las Palmas

Bij aankomst op het vliegveld word je opgehaald door ons. We rijden dan naar Agaete wat ligt aan de Noordwest kust van Gran Canaria. Onder het genot van een drankje maken we kennis met de groep. Je krijgt hier je shirt en je wandelsjaal. We overnachten in een mooie accommodatie, met ontbijt. Er is een supermarkt aanwezig als je eten en drinken wilt meenemen voor de volgende dag. Doe dit wel omdat de eerste dag een zware dag is zonder dat we een restaurant of supermarkt tegenkomen. We vertrekken vanaf het vissersplaatsje Puerto de las Nieves.

2, Vertrek Puerto de las Nieves naar Artenara – 20 km

Vanuit de haven vertrekken we naar Artenara via het Tamada natuurgebied. Een gebied dat door de Unesco tot Biosfeerreservaat verklaard is. Jullie zien de fabuleuze natuurlijke inheemse Canarische dennenbossen op de bergtoppen, de duizelingwekkende steile rotsen van de bijna ontoegankelijke kust en de rijke biodiversiteit van de ravijnen. We stijgen vandaag naar 1300 meter. De eerste 8 km gaan naar 1200 meter. Een spectaculaire wandeling naar boven, om zo richting Artenara te lopen. Artenara is een klein bergdorp. Hier vind je meerdere tot op heden bewoonde grotwoningen en de in een grot aangelegde kapel ter ere van de Virgen de la Cuevita. Wij gaan logeren in een grot met een uitzicht over het middelste punt van Gran Canaria. Dit is een unieke ervaring! Laten jullie jezelf verrassen.

3, Vertrek van Artenara naar San Bartolomé de Tirajana – 21km

We lopen verder naar het hoogste punt van de tocht. Het plaatsje Tejeda ligt op de route, waar we even kunnen pauzeren.

Het mooiste deel van de tocht van Gran Canaria. De omslag van het weer, de schapen die overal lopen, de stilte, en de spectaculaire uitzichten. Een pittige tocht maar een hele mooie! Als we de top bereikt hebben begint de afdaling naar San Bartolomé de Tirajana. Van 1700 meter naar 900 meter. Na de overnachting in de grot worden we nu getrakteerd met een heerlijk hotel, waar we heerlijk kunnen rusten na de beklimmingen.

4, Vertrek San Bartolomé de Tirajana naar Ayagaures – 15 km

Na het ontbijt vertrekken we met voldoende water en eten in onze rugzak rustig uit San Bartolomé. De eerste paar kilometers zijn rustig, en we zien voor ons de beklimming die we nog moeten doen. Dit is het laatste obstakel. Nadat we de top hebben bereikt, volgt een hele lange afdaling tot aan Ayagaures. Berg op lopen is behoorlijk pittig, maar een steile afdaling is net zo pittig. Korte haarspeldbochten, dichtgegroeide kleine paadjes, afgebrokkelde stenen van een rotswand, zo gaan we 800 meter dalen tot we het grote stuwmeer van Ayagaures zien. Hier bevindt zich onze accommodatie en een restaurant waar we wat kunnen eten en drinken.

5, Vertrek naar Ayagaures naar Maspalomas – 18 km

De laatste etappe van deze reis gaat meest bergafwaarts naar Maspalomas. Onderweg hebben we een mooi uitzicht op het grote park Palmitos. Een lange afdalende weg, met weer wat meer bedrijvigheid onderweg passeren we kleine dorpjes waar we wat kunnen eten en drinken, om weer verder af te dalen naar Maspalomas. Het eindpunt van deze route ligt bij de vuurtoren, in Maspalomas midden in het bruisende toerisme. Hier wacht een leuke accommodatie waar we nog 2 dagen kunnen verblijven en te relaxen.

Informatie over de terugreis

Mocht je een 8-daagse reis geboekt hebben dan word je afgezet op het vliegveld. Mocht je nog wat dagen extra willen blijven dan is er vanuit Maspalomas een busverbinding naar het vliegveld van Las Palmas. Uiteraard kunnen jullie ook een taxi nemen.
