You will set out to discover the authentic heart of Fuerteventura. Your first stop will be at the Mirador de Morro Velosa, where you can enjoy a spectacular panorama of volcanic valleys, rugged ridges, and traditional villages scattered across the plains. This viewpoint, designed by the artist César Manrique, allows you to grasp the vastness of the moon-like landscapes that characterize the island.Next, you will visit Betancuria, the former capital founded in 1404 by Jean de Béthencourt and regarded as the historical cradle of Fuerteventura. The village is nestled in a lush valley, protected by volcanic mountains. Its cobbled streets wind between whitewashed houses and flowering gardens, evoking the tranquil charm of traditional Canarian life.At the heart of the village stands the remarkable Santa María church, whose architecture and frescoes tell centuries of religious and cultural history. You can stroll through the shaded squares, admire the fountains, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that permeates the village.After this historical immersion, the journey continues to the village of Tiscamanita, where you will visit a local Aloe Vera cosmetics factory, one of the island’s most important crops.

You will discover the artisanal production process, from harvesting the leaves to making natural creams and gels. Here, you will learn all there is to know about this remarkable plant, celebrated for its hydrating and soothing properties.
