Los Volcanes Natural Park Park

Los Volcanes Natural Park is a protected volcanic landscape on the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain. The park conserves volcanic cones, lava flows and the stark terrain created by past eruptions.

Hiking routes and lookout points cross lava fields and cinder cones, giving close views of recent volcanic terrain and crater rims. Interpretive signage and marked paths guide visitors across the geologically active landscape.

The landforms within the park are the product of multiple volcanic events over the island’s geological history, including significant eruptions that shaped Lanzarote’s central volcanic zone. The area is managed to protect geological features and the sparse island vegetation that colonises lava substrates.

The park is located on Lanzarote in the eastern Canary Islands and sits within the island’s central to southern volcanic zone, accessible by road from island towns and tourist centres.

• Volcanic landscape: The park showcases volcanic cones, extensive lava fields and viewpoints formed by past eruptions, making it a primary destination for geology and landscape walks.

Los Volcanes areas are distributed across the Canary Islands. Access depends on the specific island and park sector; local roads and trailheads are generally well signed from regional towns and airports. Check the regional natural park website for island‑specific directions and trail closures.

• If visiting the Canary Islands, check local park websites for trail conditions and volcanic area restrictions before setting out.
• Pack a windproof layer - elevated volcanic terrain can be surprisingly gusty even on otherwise mild days.
• Look for signposted trails and interpretive panels that explain volcanic geology; volcanic rock can be sharp, so wear good footwear.
