In this hike, we will explore the island’s volcanic history, passing ancient lava fields and observing ash and volcanic cauldrons. We will traverse parts of the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park.

We will circle around Birigoyo Mountain, an ancient volcanic cone, offering views of the Valley of Aridane, Caldera de Taburiente, and the distant Roque de Los Muchachos.

Continuing our hike through volcanic landscapes, we will view the San Juan Volcano, the Hoyo Negro crater, and Las Deseadas.

Next, we will descend to Los Canarios in Fuencaliente, near the Martín Volcano, known for its unique colors and formations. The return to the starting point will occur approximately 7 hours after the activity begins.
