MAHAN TREKKING
My name is Miguel Martinez and I was born here, on this unique island of Fuerteventura. Raised between different nationalities (Spanish on my father’s side and German on my mother’s side) I remember that I was always curious to discover other cultures and places in the world. That pleasure I found in nature and its relationship with human beings was the reason why I would later end up getting a diploma in Tourism. While working in the tourism industry added to my work experience, traveling abroad broadened my vision of the world. After traveling through inhospitable jungles, glaciers, mountains and vast desert plains in South America, I decided to complement my training by becoming a Mountain Sports Technician: the first stone of my project. This qualification, together with my professional career and my passion for trekking are the stones on which Mahan Trekking is built. With the intention of combining Nature and Tourism in an environmentally responsible way, Mahan Trekking works only with small groups and with an assigned mountain guide able to communicate in Spanish, German and English. Through our routes, especially those classified as ACTIVE TOURS, you will get to know not only the beauty of the flora and fauna of one of the oldest volcanic islands in the world, but also its geological and cultural history.
NOTE: An amount of what you have paid for the excursion will go to important environmental projects on the island, such as the Center for the Recovery and Conservation of Sea Turtles or the Life Project for the conservation of the Canary Island Egyptian Vulture. So you will leave a vital footprint in the sustainable development of Fuerteventura.
