Timanfaya National Park is the result of hundreds of volcanic cones that emerged 300 years ago on the then fertile valleys of western Lanzarote, and that forever changed the topography of the island.

The intense eruptions find a dry and stony, that today is a natural laboratory where to study recent volcanism, biological richness and the large number of endemic plants and animals it protects.

Throughout the nearly four kilometers of the route, there is a wide representation of the Canarian volcanism: hornitos, tubes or tunnels lapillis, volcanic bombs, lava of various types, mineral surfaced old eruptions and craters now asleep.
