Montana del Cuervo

de fr

The car park is located on the LZ-56 on the left when coming from the south.

Be careful, there is a huge crevice at the entrance to the car park, which could seriously damage your car.

The route is easy, you can walk around the volcano through the interior, the path is very well marked, you can't go wrong, allow an hour to do the circular at a leisurely pace.

An interesting route from a volcanic point of view. It is undoubtedly the only active volcano where you can safely enter its caldera.

A simple and very informative hike. The interior of the crater is superb, with surprising plant and animal specimens. We did it on a sunny but not hot day. The route is very well marked on the ground, but there are no signs at the junctions; without the GPS track, we would have taken the wrong direction at a crossroads. Part of the route is a little steep, but overall it is easy, even for families.

A short, easy and very interesting walk. It is easy to enter the caldera.
Be careful at the car park entrance; proceed slowly as there is a significant difference in height between the tarmac and the dirt.

⚑Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
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.

Caldera de Santa Catalina
↔5.62 mi ↗+243 ft ↘-243 ft ◔2h 50 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Tinajo (Province de Las Palmas)
This hike (also known as Caldera de La Rilla), far off the beaten track, takes you to one of Lanzarote's spectacular craters. It also allows you to discover part of the Los Volcanes Natural Park, a veritable lunar landscape. There are no technical difficulties, except perhaps for its length (over 9 km). Be sure to bring windbreakers, as the wind can be very strong at the top of the crater. Please note that descent into the crater is forbidden (limits marked on the ground by stone alignments).

⚑Departure from Tinajo (Province de Las Palmas)
A very nice, fairly easy hike to discover the magnificent Caldera Blanca and the 360° view from the summit over the entire Volcanoes National Park. To be done on a clear, not too windy day, otherwise it's a bit sporty on the ridge.

⚑Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
A truly exotic route in La Geria, a protected landscape characterised by thousands of small semi-circular walls (“zocos”) sheltering vines growing in the black volcanic ash. The ridge of Montaña Tinasoria, which is very easy to walk along, offers a superb 360° view.
