Embark on a Journey to Timanfaya National Park

Your adventure begins at the iconic Timanfaya National Park, often referred to as the Montañas del Fuego or Fire Mountains. This park is not only a staple of Lanzarote’s volcanic identity but also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, showcasing a stark and mesmerizing landscape that seems more like Mars than Earth. The park’s unique geology is a result of massive volcanic eruptions that took place between 1730 and 1736 and later in 1824. These eruptions have created a rugged landscape that is both haunting and beautiful, with rich shades of red, orange, and black soil.

Walking through these fields, you’ll feel the power of nature beneath your feet.

This part of the tour offers not just stunning visuals but also an insightful look into volcanic activity and its lasting impact on the environment.
