The Natural
Monument of knives Vigan is one of the protected
natural areas of Fuerteventura least known,
because their access is not easy, as there
is well pavedroads.

have much appeal, so I know more and better).

great beauty and unique ness. They are also an
important refuge stronghold where the vulture, the
osprey and the Barbary falcon, three of the most
threatened raptors in the Canaries. Among highli
ghtsendemic flora of great scientific
value and distribution reduced. Also home
to enclaves of marine fossil fauna of great
scientific interest.
