About Faro del Lobos
Boat-accessed deep volcanic plateau off Fuerteventura with cracks, overhangs, and a sandy slope beyond the reef edge. Yellowfin jacks, barracudas, angel sharks, rays, and groupers make this a classic big-fish site, while the offshore setting means it is best saved for calmer winter windows and an experienced crew. Plan for a controlled descent and a steady return over exposed water.
