Why hiking in Lanzarote ?
Lanzarote is a land of enormous contrasts combining in perfect harmony. Its volcanic facet gives it some Dantesque landscapes that are difficult to imagine unless you walk through them.
But its idyllic valleys in the north with centuries-old palm groves and beautiful farming villages show a completely different side of Lanzarote.
The ancient Lanzarote people travelled their island on foot, moving from north to south and from east to west with goods. From the south came fish. From the north, pulses and vegetables… Today these ancestral paths allow us to offer the best hiking routes in Lanzarote, over the course of a week full of contrasts.
Volcanic landscapes
The volcano erupted for six long years. Day by day Lorenzo Curbelo, the island’s parish priest, wrote down the agony. On the 1st of September 1730 the earth opened up, creating a scene of fire and lava. Nine villages disappeared under the slag. Lanzarote was depopulated. Its inhabitants emigrated.
Today the reality is different. The island has taken advantage of the disaster of the past. The spectacular volcanic landscapes have become a major tourist attraction. Walking and hiking in Lanzarote through its volcanoes and lava fields is an unrepeatable experience.
SMART Hiking in Lanzarote
Our programme of 3 best walks in Lanzarote covers the most diverse
landscapes.
These are routes of a medium level of difficulty, suitable for people in normal physical condition who do sport from time to time.
Island nature
Lanzarote is an island of gentle relief. The Los Ajaches mountain range in the south and the Peñas del Chache in the north do not exceed 700 metres in altitude. The trade wind clouds cross the island without stopping to deposit their load of humidity. This is why the island’s nature is sparse, with scrub vegetation predominating. Only in the northern valleys do we find extensive palm groves that offer a different view of the island.
Cesar Manrique
The multifaceted Lanzarote artist Cesar Manrique has left his mark on his island. A forerunner of conservationist ideas, he promoted measures to prevent tourist overcrowding that are still in force today. In addition, he devised unique architectural spaces perfectly integrated into the volcanic environment of Lanzarote. Today we can visit them through different centres such as the Cesar Manrique Foundation, the Jameos del Agua or the Mirador del Rio, among others.
From the beautiful village of Haría the trail heads towards the Risco de Famara, a natural wall located in the northwest corner of the island of Lanzarote. From the top of the majestic cliff we enjoy splendid views of the small island of La Graciosa.
The path runs southwards along the edge of the cliff with a spectacular view towards Famara beach. And on the way back towards the Valley of the Thousand Palm Trees, we are accompanied by a splendid view of the La Corona volcano. But at the end of this first route in Lanzarote, the house-museum of the artist Cesar Manrique in Haría is a must-see. There he lived and painted in peace with his land during the last years of his life.

Day 3
Climb to the Caldera Blanca
The climb tour to the crater of Caldera Blanca is located very close to the Timanfaya National Park. It is the crater of a volcano that resulted from a single eruption. Its perfect crater has a diameter of 1.2 kilometres and the spectacle that opens up when you reach its summit cannot be described in words.
From the village of Mancha Blanca, before reaching Timanfaya, the path starts along the road through some badlands until it reaches the base of the volcano. After a continued ascent and reaching the edge of the crater, a huge blanket of volcanic slag and recent craters spreads out to the south. This is Timanfaya, the Montañas de Fuego National Park. And to the north, the small rural villages of Lanzarote colour the landscape until you reach the cliffs of Famara. And after the route, there is still room for a visit to the National Park.

Day 4
Femés - Aceituna Peak - El Pozo beach
The mountain range of Los Ajaches, in the south of Lanzarote, was the seat of the aborigines. Today the village of Femés, with its farming and peasant tradition, sits at the top of the mountain range. Femés is a perfect vantage point with views to the south. The islands of Lobos and Fuerteventura are within its visual space, as well as the Papagayo Natural Park, in the south of Lanzarote.
The route begins with an ascent to Pico de La Aceituna, whose peak is 450 metres above sea level. From there the trail continues until it reaches the next peak: Pico Redondo at 555 metres above sea level.
After enjoying magnificent views of the east and south coast of the island, you begin a continuous descent down the ravine, with impressive views over Playa de la Arena. And when you reach Playa Quemada, a humble fishing enclave in the south of Lanzarote, you can enjoy a swim in the sea before returning to Arrecife.
