Description

This route allows us to walk around the Escanfraga Mountain, which is not only the highest on the island of Fuerteventura, at 533 metres high, but also one of the oldest volcanoes as it was created around 1 million years ago. The toponymy of Escanfraga is probably due to the union of the word Escan, a dye lichen that was collected in the area, and the word Fraga, a Latin term that among other meanings refers to broken and steep land. Challenge yourself to the adventure of climbing the rim of the volcano, rewarding yourself with breathtaking views over the north of Fuerteventura. As you walk, you will learn how the local people, in the past, used the land of the crater to survive, taking advantage of the low rainfall to grow cereals and with the help of the camels. In fact, this pathway is called as 'The Camels Trail'. After a well-deserved rest and some photos to immortalise the moment, we will start the return to the restaurant to enjoy a full tasty brunch.
