Los Volcanes

Los Volcanes Natural Park is located in the municipalities of Yaiza, Tías and Tinajo, though it is normally accessed through the latter; but it can also be entered from Yaiza. This Natural Park has an area of 10,158 hectares and offers a breathtaking landscape that has been the result of the last volcanic eruption of the island. It is a volcanic landscape with strange and interesting formations created by the solidification of lava. Vegetation in this area is very scarce, and is only present in the oldest lava solidification zones.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Do not walk in areas where it is not allowed and respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
- Do not light fires outside the permitted areas and be especially careful during the summer months.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
