Other walks in the area
Calderón Hondo Volcano Tour

A relatively short hike offering beautiful panoramic views of the volcano and surrounding countryside.
The Calderon Hondo and the Montagne Rouge

This hike takes you to the summit of Calderon Hondo, a magnificent cauldron with a deep, well-marked crater.
On the way back via Montaña Colorada, you'll enjoy lovely panoramic views of the malpais de la Arena and the other volcanoes of northern Fuerteventera in the distance...
⚠️Some technical difficulties (hand assistance) and a little gas for those prone to vertigo on the crater crossing.
Hacha Grande summit, canyons and secret beaches

On the program: peaks, canyons, goats, secret beaches, wells and a quiet beach. If you finish this hike at the end of the day, at sunset, you'll be under a rosy sky that is gradually studded with stars. Apart from its length, the ascent to Hacha Grande is the main difficulty, as the trail is sometimes hard to see.
Barrancos and wild beaches around Femés

An easy walk through hardly visited valleys, including three almost deserted beaches. Good trail for most of the way.
⚠️However, a passage looks very impressive before you start, but the path is well marked and it will only be a problem for people who are very prone to vertigo.
4 beaches path in Playa Quemada - Lanzarote

Starting from the village of Playa Quemada, this short hike provides access to 4 hardly visited beaches. There's nothing complicated about the route, apart from a few overhangs above the cliffs, which can be impressive, especially on windy days. The 4 beaches in question are Playa Quemada, Playa de la Arena, Playa del Paso and Playa la Casa. The latter holds a little surprise in store.
Tour of Islote del Mojon from El Golfo

The village of El Golfo, on the island of Lanzarote, was miraculously spared the eruptions of 1730 to 1736. As the lava spread all around the village, right up to the first houses, the highest ground was bypassed by the molten rock. The result is a landscape in which the different phases of the island's volcanism are clearly visible, thanks in particular to the Islotes (Islands) that still stand out against the ocean of lava.
Coastal Route : El Goflo to El Paso Beach

The Ruta del Litoral is a trail that runs along the west coast of Lanzarote, right by Timanfaya National Park.
It crosses the malpais, an area of volcanic rock created by the eruptions of 1730-1736 and 1824, between El Golfo and Playa de la Madera.
Here, I suggest you take the first part of this coastal trail from El Golfo to Playa del Paso, where swimming is prohibited. The waves, the cliffs, the lava show and the desert landscape are just some of the reasons to discover this place.
La Géria vineyard

During the volcanic eruptions of 1730 to 1736, a quarter of Lanzarote was buried under lava. Another part was covered in volcanic ash. Such is the case of the Géria region, in the center of the island, where the cultivation of vines has replaced previous practices, but in a very different way. As well as being completely atypical, this walk through the vineyards gives you a view of almost the entire island.
