Timanfaya, an out-of-this-world volcanic landscape
A remarkable landscape, like the surface of another planet, awaits travellers to Timanfaya. Montaña de Fuego, Montaña Rajada, the islet of Hilario, the Caldera del Corazoncillo, the Rodeos Mountains and the Señalo Mountains, Pico Partido, the Caldera de Rilla… These are just a few of the volcanic formations to be found in this large area of rough, barren lava flows in Lanzarote. A silent, transcendent landscape.
Timanfaya owes its unique landscape to volcanic activity that occurred between 1730 and 1736, when part of the island shuddered and was left covered in lava and glowing rock. As many as twelve villages were left buried beneath the ash. The high temperatures of the surface here remind us that below ground a magma chamber remains, a real heart of fire.
The area’s designation as a National Park in 1974, followed later by a declaration of over 90% of the land as a Reservation Area, has meant that it has remained virtually unspoilt. To find out all about it, your first step should be to call in at the Mancha Blanca Visitor and Interpretation Centre. Here, visitors can get in-depth information about this spectacular, volcanic park that stretches over more than 50 square kilometres. Although part of the park is protected, and therefore not open to visitors, there is still a great deal to see. In this sublime place, where the black of the landscape mingles with glowing ochre and red tones, you can visit places that are truly unforgettable.
Hiking enthusiasts have a choice of trails through Timanfaya, but the simplest and most popular way to tour the area is on a guided bus tour. The forty-minute trip includes a volcano tour and a ride through volcanic tubes, and pyroclastic and lava fields. If you want to see more of these remarkable landscapes, there are other options, including the Tremesana tour or the Coastline tour. While it is always advisable to undertake these tours with guides, the most competent hikers could attempt some of them independently. Camel tours are also extremely popular in the area. A perfect adventure activity for families with children.
