Overview

Drive into the wild south of Fuerteventura with Tour2B’s Jeep trip through Jandía Natural Park and Cofete Beach. Discover raw landscapes and remote hideaways beyond the beaten path.

Details

Southern Fuerteventura, a stark and dramatic corner of Spain’s Canary Islands, reveals a rugged landscape far removed from typical beach tourism. The Jandía Peninsula Natural Park stands as one of the island’s most captivating wild spaces, marked by volcanic rock formations and sweeping desert-like dunes that stretch toward the Atlantic. Tour2B offers a distinct way to navigate this terrain with their Jeep excursions from Puerto del Rosario, opening a window to places usually inaccessible by foot or conventional vehicles.

This off-road journey cuts through volcanic ridges to reach Cofete, a remote beach that few visitors see up close. With its vast, windswept sands and crashing surf, Cofete feels like a world apart. The trip also includes a stop at Puertito, a tiny coastal village where time slows down, and visitors can take in the local atmosphere without crowds.

Another highlight is the Punta de Jandía lighthouse, perched on the peninsula’s southwestern edge. Here, the exposed cliffs dive steeply into the ocean, creating dramatic viewpoints that perfect the contrast between earth and sea. The area's sparse vegetation includes endemic succulents and hardy shrubs adapted to arid conditions, while seabirds patrol the skies.

Tour2B’s Jeep tours create an enriching experience blending adventure, natural beauty, and cultural insight. Their intimate group sizes and knowledgeable guides make it ideal for travellers seeking a more authentic connection to Fuerteventura’s southern wilderness, standing apart from the typical tourist routes. The remoteness of Jandía’s landscapes and the opportunity to drive where few visitors tread make this a must for those drawn to raw outdoor experiences in the Canaries.

Carry water even on this Jeep tour since temperatures can rise quickly in the arid climate.
