Your Itinerary

Los Volcanes Natural Park

Vimotions offers you the chance of enjoying a fantastic hiking tour through one of the protected areas which represent the recent and historical volcanism of Lanzarote. This area is the nature park of Los Volcanes and its space is covered by the lava of the eruptions that took place there in 1730-36 and 1824. You will go on a very enlightening route during which you will be able to discover the amazing world of volcanoes while you walk across lava flows or ascend to volcanic cones where it’s possible to find spectacular craters, lava tunnels, lava lakes, etc. All the volcanic structures are well conserved because of the arid weather of Lanzarote, which causes the evolution of its vegetation to be very slow. The result of this is a landscape which seems like a huge open-air museum of volcanology. The most interesting aspect of it is that, as a visitor and with your guide’s help, you will get to understand how the slow-but-constant rebirth of life upon the lava occurs. This tour is a unique experience to live and understand how the Canary Islands came to exist. • You will learn all about volcanoes and its consequences on the islands. • You will enjoy magnificent views during your hike. • A guide will remain alongside you at all times and tell you interesting facts about the land.

Great tour, with a very informative guide and lots to see and learn about. Take loads of water and wear good walking shoes!

An awesome treat this is a must do the 3 hours flew by there is just some much to see well worth the trip

Marina_K

The tour is just excellent!!! Our English guide Marcelo was amazing! He carefully explained so many things about the island, the volcanos, the agriculture and the history of Lanzarote. I really appreciated walking in the middle of the volcanos. The hike is quite easy and very pleasant! Strongly recommend it!!!

The 3 hour trekking tour was great, we would definitely recommend if you're interested in geography and/or the history of the island. Our guide, Maria, was extremely knowledgeable. I would say it was more easy to medium ability due to the heat and soft ground.

I selected an English speaking tour but that is not what you get. We had a knowledgeable guide Maria but every stop was 3 times longer as she had to explain in 3 languages which made the walk all the more boring Most of the walk is along a graded road with little to see . The Volcano was reached after slow walk of 2 hours . We left early as the tour was advertised to be 3 hours long with late start at 10.15 we only returned to our car by 1 pm and we left the group way after the Volcano visit In summary learnt some good information but stops, the walk and multiple language explanations was very tedious to say at best. Plan to out at least 4-5 hrs not 3 hrs as advertised

Natalya_G

We liked the hike a lot. Great, very knowledgeable guide. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes and use plenty of sunscreen :)

Martyn S

Very informative, good fun as well. Highly recommended. Walking in an unreal landscape, very peaceful. Be prepared, there is no shade and it is rough underfoot in large parts. We had a chilly breeze at higher points so best carry something warm in your bag.

An outstanding morning. Fascinating to learn about volcanoes and to see things up close. Our guide made it fun and the walk totally exceeded our expectations. We were able to look into calderas, see different types of lava and understand how flora survives. Our pick up was easy to organise and was on time. We would totally recommend this trip.

We were picked from our hotel in Playa Blanca at the prearranged time. This had been emailed to us by Vimotions just after we booked through Viator. The tour started at 10:00 but the pick up was at 08:55 so something to be aware of if using the transfer option. Prior to beginning the actual walking part we were given a brief but interesting talk to set the context for what we would see. We were also given a bag containing some light snacks and bottles of water. Poles were available if needed. We travelled in an English speaking group of 9 so there was plenty of opportunity to see everything and ask loads of questions. Mano, our guide, was excellent. His knowledge of the region and his brilliant sense of humour made the landscape come alive and we learnt so much as we trekked through the Natural Park adjacent to the Timanfaya National Park (no trekking is allowed within its boundaries so this is the closest you can get). The whole experience was wonderful as we walked through the ancient landscape and viewed the power of nature up close and personal. We stood on the edge of extinct volcanoes, stared into chimneys and learnt all about the different kinds of pyroclastic debris that forms the current landscape. The walk itself took us over different underfoot conditions from fine sandy to quite large pyroclastic pieces and there were parts where we walked up and down quite steep inclines. I would say that you need to wear appropriate footwear - walking shoes or boots as opposed to trainers - with good grip as some of the pathways were loose underfoot. We are in our mid sixties but we coped with both the length of the walk (approximately 7km) and all the conditions without any real difficulty so although I would not categorise the walk as easy, I would say it is accessible to anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. Overall, we both found this tour to be fascinating and highly recommended if you want to get away from the touristy part of Timanfaya and experience the serene beauty that is the real Lanzarote. The tour company were excellent throughout and are also highly recommended. Thank you Mano for a morning we will never forget.
