Follow the FV-2 towards Morro Jable, south of Fuerteventura until the exit for Barranco de Los Canarios.

Here you take a dirt road that goes down towards the sea, which is not signposted, but is clearly visible and passable with a normal car, if you proceed with caution.

Of course, if you don’t want to take any risks, it’s better to opt for a SUV or 4×4 car rental.

Once you have finished the descent by car, you park at the top of the cliff and from there a short path starts, which leads directly to Playa de Los Canarios .

It is essential to have comfortable shoes or light trekking shoes, especially on the way back, when the climb can be more tiring under the sun.

It is advisable to enter the route into Google Maps before losing coverage, as the signal in this area may be weak or absent.
