Presa de Las Peñitas

The Las Peñitas dam blocks the ravine of the same name in the municipality of Betancuria, inside the protected Parque Rural de Betancuria. It was built in 1937 and is now completely silted up, so it no longer holds a permanent reservoir. The approach is on foot along the local SL FV 27 trail from Vega de Río Palmas, which follows the ravine bed among Canary palms and tamarisks into a narrow granite gorge.

Sendero de La Muda

A hiking area in the north of the municipality of Puerto del Rosario, around Montaña de la Muda. The official Canary Islands tourism portal places this mountain at the southernmost vertex of the Vallebrón ridge and marks it as a site of historical interest, because it holds an archaeological deposit with an unusual burial system. The Vallebrón Protected Landscape is shared between Puerto del Rosario and La Oliva and covers almost 1,680 hectares.

Caldera de Gayria

The Caldera de Gayria, also written Gairía, is a volcanic cone in the interior of Fuerteventura, between the municipalities of Antigua and Tuineje and just east of the village of Tiscamanita. It rises some 170 metres above the plain and reaches 461 metres above sea level, keeping a well preserved crater that can be picked out from across the central part of the island. The climb is short but awkward, over loose lapilli and with no shade at all.
