Enjoy trekking in this incredible place with a lunar landscape sure to surprise you. Volcanoes Natural Park spans 25,000 acres and encroaches on the municipalities of Tinajo, Tias and Yaiza. It is a land of volcanic origin with strange and curious formations rising from the solidified lava. There are some examples of lava flows and lapilli fields of great geomorphological interest, making for a fascinating landscape.
Vegetation is scarce here, but lichens proliferate, with almost a hundred species populating the lava fields. In the cooler areas, wild geranium, hearts, and the endemic bejeque are common. Reptiles dominate the fauna scene, and communities of seabirds, well adapted to the exceptional conditions of the park, give this space enormous scientific value.

Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses, wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Minimum age is 10 years.
