Presa de las Peñitas

Highlight • Monument

Where the valley narrows into a ravine, a reservoir (Presa del las Peñitas) was created in the 1940s to improve the supply of water to the island. Today he is silted up.

Use the right path up the mountain... goes smooth 👍. But think about the right "drive"

View of the Arco de las Peñitas and the Barranco de las Peñitas

Highlight • Natural Monument

From this spot along the trail you get great views over the Barranco de las Peñitas in Fuerteventura, a unique area that is reminiscent of North African landscapes. From this spot you can see both the towering cliffs and odd rock formations to one side, and the palm groves, and a dry riverbed on the other. A highlight of this trail is the Arco de las Peñitas, a natural, spindly stone arch sculpted by erosion that you get nice views of here as you hike toward it.
