Take a dip in the calm, turquoise waters or relax on the soft sand, perfect for families, couples, or solo travellers. Known as "La Concha" (The Shell) due to its shape, the beach's official name is La Caleta. From here, you can see the distant dunes of Corralejo, Fuerteventura’s contours, and the unique volcanic mountain "La Caldera" behind you. For those eager to explore further, take a deep breath and get ready to ascend La Caldera, the island’s tallest peak. This volcanic cone, standing at 127 metres, offers breathtaking views of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. The round-trip hike takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and provides a peaceful escape to enjoy the colours and silence of the island. While visiting the northern part of the island, you’ll come across the lighthouse, once maintained by Josefina Plá’s father. Now fully automated, the lighthouse offers a quiet resting spot with sweeping views of the sea and Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape. A complete walk around the island takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Overall rating

(329 reviews)

The park is great. However, Lemur experience is absolutely not worth the price. You enter and you can admire the lemurs without any obstacles, unfortunately the lemurs don't care and just go about their business or sleep. Free shows are much better.

Everything was very nice. I just missed the cacti with the red lice. Otherwise, it was great.

It was one of the best zoos I’ve been. Animals looks happy and well taken care of.

This is a fantastic place to visit lots to see great day out for everyone

Superb zoo, shame it's undergoing some renovation work
