This exclusive experience takes you through southern Fuerteventura's desolate landscapes to the remote beach at Cofete and the fishing village of El Puertito. Juan Carlos, one of our local guides, says, ‘It's like being in another world as you're zooming down a mountainside dirt track looking over the wave crashing against an endless virgin beach. And then you spot a goat or squirrel, and remember you're still on planet Earth.' This untamed peninsula is perfect for exploring by 4x4. Even better when you see it all with family or friends on a private tour.
You'll be whisked up and down dusty trails and volcanic ridges, zooming through desert-like badlands. After traversing these arid hills, we'll stop to drink in the panorama from the Cofete viewpoint. This lofty spot boasts spectacular vistas of the rugged north-west coastline, which is where you're headed next. Sweeping down the trail, you'll soon reach Cofete beach. It's a slice of wilderness where the blue waters of the Atlantic meet the golden coastline – a contrast of colours that's one of Fuerteventura's hallmarks.
Superb sunset spots don't come much better than the lighthouse at Punta de Jandia, where you'll round off the day watching the sun go down with a glass of chilled cava in hand. You'll then stop by the small fishing village of El Puertito and enjoy a snack from a family-run bar. Savour the remoteness of this otherworldly corner of the island as you drive back through the lunar landscape under the stars.
