Site

Fuerteventura is a Starlight Reserve entirely surrounded by ocean — desert horizons, warm winter nights, and very low humidity make it the darkest Canary Island by area.

Drive from Toronto: ≈ 30–60 min from Puerto del Rosario to interior desert pull-offs like Sicasumbre or Tefía.

Best time of year: October–April for cool desert nights; summer is hot but still clear.
