The scale of the eruptions between 1730 and 1736 was enormous with the lava erupting from more than 100 volcanoes down onto villages and farmland. At the time of the eruptions Yaiza’s parish priest recorded the...

Walking on your own in the National Park isn’t an option in order to protect both the environment and visitors. The existance of lava tunnels with fragile lava on top is too big a risk. There are a small number of free walks organised by the park rangers (numbers limited to 8 per group). Check the website: reservasparquesnacionales.es
