Timanfaya National Park (Parque Nacional de Timanfaya)
Best time to visit
Go early morning, before 10:00, to avoid coach crowds and the strongest sun. November to March bring milder temperatures and softer light for photos.
Budget tips
The Ruta de los Volcanes bus is ticketed, approximately €12 per adult with reduced fares for children, so buy tickets online or at the visitor centre to avoid queues. No regular free-entry days for the bus route, but check the official park website and compare island tourist cards for occasional discounts.

About
クイックファクト: A moonscape of black lava and rust-colored ash rolls beneath relentless winds, and you can feel geothermal heat at vents where a splash of water will instantly billow into steam. Scientists protect one of the planet's youngest volcanic landscapes, where tough endemic plants cling to nutrient-poor ash and the silence is often punctuated by dramatic ranger demonstrations.
ハイライト: Walk over a sea of red-black lava and sugary pumice formed by the 1730 to 1736 eruptions, the air tasting faintly of sulfur and your skin warmed by ground heat underfoot. Rangers dramatically pour seawater into a shallow borehole to make geyser-like steam, and César Manrique's El Diablo restaurant still grills steaks over natural geothermal heat as a quirky proof of what lies below.
Insider tips
- Dress in layers and bring windproof clothing, temperatures can be cool and windy despite strong sun.
- Book the Ruta de los Volcanes bus online in high season to secure a time slot and skip ticket lines.
- Best photo spots include the Islote de Hilario thermal demonstration area and the viewpoints along the Montañas del Fuego bus route.
