ラ・オリーバの天然記念物・トップ20

As well as being fairly steep and loose, there is a sign at the base of the North-East ascent indicating that the path is closed from mid-February to July (I think) as its a bird nesting area.

have something to drink with you, nice path

We head to Lajares to discover a very popular route among travelers who come to Fuerteventura with the purpose of hiking. I am referring to the short itinerary SL-FV-2, of the Island Network of Integrated Trails in the GR-131, which takes us to the mouth of the crater of the Calderón Hondo Volcano, according to some, the most famous volcano in Fuerteventura and one of the best preserved craters on the island. It is a simple route that starts from the Los Lajares Artisan Market square in search of the parking lot for the Calderón Hondo Volcano trail, where you can also leave your vehicle, one and a half kilometers from the town, on the local road to Majanicho. , where you take the Camino de las Calderas in the direction of Montaña Colorada, a paved and sufficiently marked path to the mouth of the crater that allows no possible loss. Upon reaching the base of Montaña Colorada, we leave the continuation of the second stage of the GR 131 on the right and continue straight ahead, going up the slope, to shortly head to the left along the local trail SL-FV 2 Lajares–Calderón Hondo , which allows us to skirt the foothills of Montaña Colorada and continue to the hill that forms the northwest hill between the two colossi and which serves as support, through a pile of lava, for the Calderón Hondo Volcano, whose elevation can already be seen in its entirety. . A brief rest on the hill allows you to enjoy the panoramic views and have fun distinguishing the mountainous alignments. All that remains is to go up the steep slopes of the volcano to look into its fabulous crater, which is a kilometer and a half in development, in whose depths, at 70 meters, you can see yellowish tones that reveal the presence of sulfur and that contrast with the landscape of reddish, brown tones. and ochres, the result of oxidation, which we have been enjoying during the ascent. Fuerteventura is the island without National Parks, but with numerous natural and rural areas of real interest.

Very nice gently sloping beach

Playa El Viejo - great beach and great waves - perfect for relaxing.

Thanks to a well-developed hiking trail, you can easily get to the crater rim and take a look inside. If you are good on foot, you can walk around the crater. But please don't blow it over. Hiking sticks are recommended.

Magnificent uncrowded white sand beach.

From the summit of the Vilcano de Bayuyo you have a fantastic view of Corralejo and the two islands of Lobos and Lanzarote. But you can also see El Cotillo and the Faro del Toston, as well as the dunes of the Corralejo National Park. However, the ascent via the "Corralejo side" is only recommended for sure-footed people and sturdy shoes are also recommended, especially for the descent. The lava rock is very loose and therefore very slippery.
