Trails of Fuerteventura

Discovering  Fuerteventura step by step

As a biosphere reserve (Unesco, 2009) Fuerteventura is also a geological treasure of wild coasts, deserts, dunes, ravines and volcanic landscapes ideal for hiking.

Fuerteventura has more than 255 kilometers of tracks enabled on 22 different routes. All of them form the Network of Natural Paths of Fuerteventura.

The 22 hiking routes are divided into 3 categories: The Great Route 131, (GR-131), Small Routes (PR-FV) and Local Paths (SL-FV).
The Great Route 131, is part of an international trail. In Fuerteventura it is divided into 9 stages and crosses the island from north to south. The stages are indicated by characteristic marks consisting of a white stripe on a red one. They are usually painted on tree trunks, stones or specific supports.

Tips

  • Do not light fires, except in authorized places.
  • Respect the trails and avoid shortcuts. This favors erosion and can break the original layout of the road.
  • Do not forget that motor vehicles can travel on some of the routes.
  • Close the gates, bars, barriers, etc. that you open on your path, to prevent livestock or wild animals from entering or leaving.
  • Do not camp outside the authorized areas
  • Do not pick flowers or branches from the environment. Perhaps you are taking a plant species in danger of extinction.
  • Do not make too much noise so as not to disturb the animals.
  • Plan your excursion, calculate the schedules well , taking into account the distances
  • Always carry enough reserves of water and prepared food, in the case of long journeys.
  • Do not forget simple and important things as: hat, sunglasses and sun protection.
  • Take a mobile phone, and remember that the general emergency number is 112.
