What will you see during the Timanfaya hiking route?

Explore the wildest part of the Volcanoes Natural Park with a local guide. Walk along lava rivers and feel the energy of the volcanoes.

This hiking excursion is a circular route of around 8 kilometers that lasts between 3 and 3.5 hours. We will visit different volcanoes, and the local guide will provide information about the park, the native vegetation, and its history, while also answering any questions you may have.

Halfway through the excursion, we will take a short break to taste typical Canarian products and wine (always white wine from the Canary Islands). We will also enjoy a minute of silence for meditation.

It is the ideal excursion for those who want to discover Lanzarote’s volcanic landscapes and must-see places in a single day, without worrying about tickets, transportation, or queues.

(This hiking route explores natural and volcanic areas of the Volcanoes Natural Park, but it does NOT visit the protected Montañas del Fuego area, where geothermal demonstrations and the Volcano Route (only accessible by bus) take place.)

To visit that area, it is recommended to book an organized bus excursion with entrance included.
