Our take
This is the way to actually set foot on the 1730 eruption landscape, which you only see through the window on the Timanfaya coach. The price is fair and the geology is the highlight; wear closed shoes, because the volcanic gravel gets everywhere.

The experience
What you will see
- Volcanic cones and craters from the 1730-1736 and 1824 eruptions.
- Lava flows, solidified lava lakes and the remains of lava tubes.
- How life slowly returns to the lava.
How it works
You meet at Camino Testeina (or get picked up if you choose that option) and walk about 8 km with the guide through Los Volcanes Natural Park, climbing some cones and crossing lava flows while learning how the landscape formed.
Who I recommend it for
- Anyone who wants to walk on the volcanoes, not just see them from a coach.
- Families with children aged 7 and up who are used to walking.
Who I don't recommend it for
- People with reduced mobility or low fitness.
- Anyone wanting to see the geysers at Islote de Hilario: those are in the National Park.

Not accessible for wheelchair users or people with mobility impairments.
Cancellation policy
