Volcán del Cuervo

A volcano beyond time

The crater of the Cuervo volcano is located between the Timanfaya National Park and the protected area of La Geria. Excursions and hiking trips in this area represent a journey back in time. The location is part of volcanological history with the first volcano to open part of what is now known as La Caldera de los Cuervos. It was in this area as well that, in 1730, the Timanfaya eruptions began. They were to continue for 6 years. Please note: We kindly ask that you do not take volcanic stones as they are part of a unique heritage.

Protected landscape suitable for the whole family

This volcano is part of the Network of Natural Areas of the Canary Islands. The Cuervo Volcano walking route is a highly recommended activity with children during a visit to Lanzarote. It is a low-difficulty path with a unique landscape. The feeling of entering the crater of a volcano is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the little ones in the house will love it.

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.).
