Volcanic Moonscape Trekking

During this very informative excursion you’ll be able to discover the amazing world of volcanoes, walk across solidified lava flows, ascend to volcanic cones, see spectacular craters, lava tunnels, canals and tubes. Los Volcanes Nature Park, together with Timanfaya National Park, are protected areas which represent the recent and historical volcanism of Lanzarote because they are covered by the spectacular eruptions that took place from 1730 to 1736 and in 1824. All the volcanic structures in the area are well preserved due to Lanzarote’s arid climate; the landscape is like a huge open-air museum of volcanology. You’ll learn about the very slow but constant rebirth of life upon the lava. Certainly, an ‘out of this world’ experience for any trekker! Note: Participants must be at least 10 years of age and in excellent physical condition. The duration for the trekking is approximately three hours, total trekking distance is approximately 3.75 miles (6 kilometers) on rough, uneven, and sometimes uphill terrain at an elevation of up to approximately 492 feet (150 meters) above sea level. For this route, it is essential to wear laced shoes like trainers or hiking boots, as you will walk over volcanic rocks with a rough surface. Participants should wear appropriate clothes; a hat, backpack, and sunscreen are recommended. Please take bottled water and a snack with you. No facilities are available during this tour. No professional camera or video is allowed at Los Volcanes Nature Park.
