More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A wind-cut coastline opens as the 4x4 grinds up a hairpin track: volcanic ridges bruise the horizon and the ocean hurls white spray against dark cliffs. The ride to Cofete is rough in the way only true off-road country can be—wheels chatter over volcanic scree, gulls wheel above, and every dip reveals another broad panorama of Jandía's raw shoreline.

Expect rough roads

Bring layered sun protection
Sunny, windy conditions mean UV is strong; pack a hat, SPF 50 and a light wind layer.
Plan for swims
Bring swimwear and a towel for El Puertito stops—waves can be strong, so enter water cautiously.
Cash for small purchases
Some village cafés and vendors accept only cash; carry small bills for snacks and toilets.
