5h 45
Moderate
Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
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.

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.

Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
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.

Difficult
Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
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.
Tour of Islote del Mojon from El Golfo

Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
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

Moderate
Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
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.

It is best to park in Calle de Francia, but be careful of the yellow no-parking signs.
The circular route can be difficult for people with balance problems, and there can be very strong winds at the summit. Good shoes are necessary.
It is possible to take a detour and walk through the crater, which offers magnificent views of the volcano's ridge.

Moderate
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.

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).

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.
