FAQs about Timanfaya tours
Timanfaya National Park Tour
Enjoy a volcano trip in Timanfaya and combine this place with other attractions to enjoy the best excursions in Lanzarote.
Timanfaya National Park is the great natural and scenic treasure of the island of Lanzarote. It’s a protected space that is very different to other national parks in the Canary Islands and the rest of Spain. For starters, consider its geological character: all of its features can be traced back to the volcanic origin of this territory.
Timanfaya was declared a National Park in 1974, and remains the only one with such designation among the different islands of Las Palmas.
In total, Timanfaya National Park occupies more than 51 square kilometres to the southeast of Lanzarote, inside the municipalities of Yaiza an Tinajo. And in that location, there are 25 volcanos, all of which are active although the latest eruption took place in 1824.
But experiencing the activity of this volcanic system is the main attraction for a visit to Timanfaya, without forgetting the undoubtable scenic attraction of its rocky, stark, rugged and sometimes moon-like landscapes.
There are places where it’s easy to experience the dormant volcanic activity underground, since there are enclaves that reach up to 600 degrees only about 13 metres deep, which can be exemplified by pouring water in any of the cracks in the ground and watch as that water is immediately turned into a stream of steam, like a true geyser.
In other places, like in the El Diablo Restaurant, food is cooked thanks to the underground heat of Timanfaya, on a grill designed by Lanzarote’s great artist, César Manrique.
In short, Timanfaya National Park is one of top things to do in Lanzarote, and many excursions are lead through its interior in order to make stops at scenes like Islote de Hilario or to tour the 14 kilometre Volcano Road, the best way to contemplate these landscapes of craters, lava and rocks, and to discover the so-called Montañas de Fuego (Fire Mountains).
Timanfaya Tickets
All the Timanfaya National park excursions include the tickets to the park. Avoid waiting for long queues to the park.
Disappointing. We loved the experience in Timanfaya and the guide was very kind, but we were among the first clients to be picked up by the bus, so we had to wait a lot as we picked up the other clients.
Spectacular. Visiting these places with a guide makes you appreciate them and get to know them better and more comfortably than doing the excursion on your own.
Lovely places. Throughout the tour we saw the effect of the volcanoes on the island, with the creation of places as impactful as Timanfaya, Geria and the Laguna Verde.
A great way to tour the island if you are going for the first time. For me it was the second, but I was accompanied by my son who had never been. He ended up very happy.
Surprising. We didn’t expect that the volcanic activity would impress us so much in all of the manifestations that we could see during the tour. It was great.
We liked it a lot. The volcanic landscape that manifested throughout the entire route is impressive, nothing like any other site that I know. Worthwhile.
Disappointing. We loved the experience in Timanfaya and the guide was very kind, but we were among the first clients to be picked up by the bus, so we had to wait a lot as we picked up the other clients.
I think it’s the best if you are in Lanzarote for a short amount of time. In just one day practically everything can be seen, or more or less the most characteristic of the island.
Can’t miss it. Full of surprises and architectural beauty on all sides. I won’t hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
Unforgettable places in Lanzarote. If you already know La Cueva de los Verdes, Los Jameos del Agua and other places created by Cesar Manrique, you should do this excursion in order to get to know the rest of the island’s highlights.
