LOS HERVIDEROS AND JANUBIO SALT PANS – WHERE FIRE MEETS THE SEA
On the southwest coast of Lanzarote, between El Golfo and Timanfaya, lies one of the island’s most stunning natural spectacles: Los Hervideros.
Here, Atlantic waves crash forcefully against cliffs of solidified lava, creating a constant roar and columns of spray that seem to boil among the rocks.
Nearby, the Janubio Salt Pans (Salinas de Janubio) offer a contrast of calm and colour.
This set of geometric ponds is tinted with shades of pink, white, and gold at sunset, forming one of Lanzarote’s most beautiful and photographed landscapes.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN LOS HERVIDEROS AND JANUBIO SALT PANS
At Los Hervideros, you can explore paths perfectly integrated into the volcanic landscape. The viewpoints offer privileged views of the sea crashing into the natural caves, a particularly breathtaking sight on days with heavy swell.
A short distance away, the Janubio Salt Pans offer an entirely different scene. You can visit the viewpoint or head to the visitor centre to learn how salt is obtained traditionally, using only the sun and the wind. At sunset, the landscape is filled with golden and pink reflections that change by the minute.
