Response from CACT L, Propietario at Timanfaya National Park
Responded yesterday
Dear chrisxxxx Thank you for your comment, we regret that you have not fully enjoyed the experience during your visit. Mountains of Fire are part of a wide area affected by the volcanic eruptions that struck Lanzarote between 1730-1736 and later, in 1824. This lengthy eruptive process is one of the most relevant and spectacular in the volcanic history of the Earth. of the Timanfaya National Park, protected by various agencies and with very restricted access. The approximately 14-kilometer long route is suitable for visits by bus. It is a stretch of road, perfectly blended in with the environment alongside the core of the eruptions, where elements of geological and geomorphological interest gather.

We visited in December the week before Christmas and hired a car to see some of the island. We have never been to Lanzarote before but this was definitely one of the most stunning sights. My husband studied geology at university and has a very keen interest so this was like an incredibly exciting and informative field trip! We didn’t have a lot of time and due to the worsening pandemic, we were repatriated back to the UK a few days later otherwise we would have returned and spent more time here. We did not realise at the time you can buy a universal ticket which includes entry to more than one of the attractions on Lanzarote so we were paying individually for the tickets. We also weren’t sure about getting on an enclosed bus in the current climate so we didn’t take the bus tour and feel that we have probably missed out on more of the experience. We’re not sure if you are allowed to drive your own vehicle where the bus route goes or if at other times, (pre-pandemic), you would have been allowed to get off the bus to take photos? If not, perhaps open topped buses or ones with no windows could be used? Even from the restaurant and visitor centre, you got an excellent appreciation of the area and the heat still being emitted from underground is phenomenal. They actually barbecue food to serve in the restaurant! It all seemed very well organised although we wouldn’t necessarily like to visit when the normal level of holidaymakers were present. You would probably either need to be there early or later on in the day to avoid the crowds. Nice gift shop selling a large variety of souvenirs. Would love to go back here and see more. We would highly recommend as a visitor attraction if staying on Lanzarote.…

The park is well maintained but unfortunately you can't enjoy any freedom of walk. You will only be allowed to visit the volcanoes through an organised bus tour.

Unique landscape of vast vulcanic structures stemming from the 18th and 19th centuries. Stunning craters and some interesting touristic sights.
