Escanfraga Volcano Mountain Hiking

Discover the wild essence of Fuerteventura: hiking route to Montaña Escanfraga

Embark on an unforgettable adventure and immerse yourself in the wild essence of Fuerteventura with this hiking route that will take you through unique volcanic landscapes and breathtaking panoramic views.

We will begin your adventure by picking you up from your accommodation at the agreed time and heading north of the island, where the starting point of the route is located.

We will start the hike at the base of the volcano, following an easy trail once used in the past by farmers with their camels. As we continue along the path crossing the caldera, we will encounter a moderately steep section that will lead us to the summit of Montaña Escanfraga, the highest point in Fuerteventura, reaching an impressive height of 533 metres.

Get ready to feel the adrenaline during the ascent and the satisfaction of reaching the top, where you will feel as if you are touching the sky.

From the summit, a truly spectacular natural display awaits you: breathtaking panoramic views over the entire north of Fuerteventura will unfold before your eyes, captivating you with their wild beauty.

Montaña Escanfraga, once the best lookout point for spotting ships and potential pirate attacks, offers not only an adventure but also a journey into the geological past of the island. Formed one million years ago, this volcano bears witness to the volcanic activity that shaped Fuerteventura, and its slopes still hold traces of agricultural activity developed thanks to the fertile soils and unique microclimate of the crater.

This route is a unique experience for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts, an opportunity to connect with the purest essence of Fuerteventura.
