Faro de Jandía

The Jandia Lighthouse is located at the tip of the same name, in the southernmost part of the island of Fuerteventura. It is one of the quietest points of the island, it is situated between the extensive plains of the Boards which is like a kind of coastal terrace that is in the area known as Natural Path Valley of the Mosquitos.

Al Faro de Jandía can be reached by a dirt track from Morro Jable after traveling about 20 kilometers to reach this inhospitable place. Along the way you can see gorse or barillas, also some tarajales and palm trees abound although it is worth noting that the most emblematic is the cardón de Jadía which is a kind of endemic shrub that can only be found at certain points of the island and that is in danger of extinction.

The Faro de Jandía was built in the mid-nineteenth century, inside you can see an exhibition on sea beds surrounding the area, and the cetaceans that inhabit this part of the Atlantic.

The facilities also houses the Interpretation Center of the Jandía Natural Park which is divided into five rooms where you can get to know the Natural Park in depth, from its habitats, vegetation and flora, fauna up to the maritime signs of the Faro de la Punta.
