Monte Roja

Montana Roja rises 194 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes covered in red volcanic rocks and distinctive geological formations along its sides.

The volcano emerged through coastal eruptions that shaped southern Lanzarote, creating a natural reserve that influences local weather patterns and geography.

Local residents maintain stone towers at the crater rim, marking their visits and creating a tradition of commemorating ascents to the summit.

Visitors can reach the mountain by following marked paths from Calle de los Claveles, with the complete 3-kilometer circuit taking approximately 40 minutes.

From the crater rim, observers can spot the islands of Fuerteventura and Lobos while listening to bird calls echoing from within the volcanic basin.
