TIMANFAYA NATIONAL PARK – A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH
The Timanfaya National Park is the greatest exponent of Lanzarote’s volcanic nature. Born from the violent eruptions that took place between 1730 and 1736, this landscape of ochre, red and black tones seems taken from another planet. It is a place where time seems to have stood still, showing the raw and overwhelming beauty of the earth’s interior.
Known as the Mountains of Fire, Timanfaya is one of the most visited natural parks in Spain and a symbol of the island. Its silhouettes of craters, its seas of solidified lava and the absence of vegetation create a hypnotic setting that captivates every visitor.

THE TIMANFAYA EXPERIENCE
Accessing Timanfaya is entering a world of contrasts. The main visit is done by bus (guagua) from the visitor centre at the Mountains of Fire, following a route carefully designed to offer the best panoramic views of the craters and lava tubes.
For those looking for a different experience, there is the possibility of doing the Camel Route, a traditional and fun way to travel through the volcanic landscape on the slopes of the park. It is an activity highly valued by families and offers a unique perspective of the surroundings.
