Monumento Natural de Los Ajaches

The Los Ajaches formation extends across southeastern Lanzarote, featuring a mountainous massif on the leeward side and rocky plains on the windward side.

The area contains the first European settlement in the Canary Islands, San Marcial del Rubicón, established during the Norman conquest in the 14th century.

Ancient shepherding caves, engravings, and archaeological remains of the Majos aboriginal people reveal the historical human presence in this protected landscape.

The hiking trail from Femés village spans six kilometers with significant elevation changes, combining paths, tracks, and roads through the volcanic terrain.

The geological formations of Los Ajaches represent the oldest part of Lanzarote, shaped by erosion processes over ten million years.
