Caldera Blanca, Volcanic caldera in Tinajo, Spain

Caldera Blanca is a volcanic crater in Tinajo with steep black rock walls and a wide crater rim. The formation sits within the Volcanoes Natural Park and offers visitors views across Lanzarote's volcanic landscape.

Caldera Blanca formed through multiple volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago that shaped Lanzarote's landscape. These eruptions created the crater long before humans settled on the island.

Caldera Blanca lies in the municipality of Tinajo, about 19.5 km west of Arrecife, and forms part of the Los Morros de Hacha Chica group of volcanic hills. Its rim stands at 445 m, roughly 174 m above the surrounding terrain, and the crater floor spans about 2.2 km at its base. The land around it is desert and scrub, with a climate averaging 23 °C.

The trail is walkable in sturdy shoes and most sections are open without shade from trees. Bring plenty of water and start early, as the walk takes several hours with little shelter along the way.

From the northern crater rim, visitors can see Timanfaya National Park in the distance, while a separate viewpoint called Risco Quebrado adds another angle on the surrounding terrain.
