Volcán del Cuervo, Volcanic crater in Tinajo, Spain
The circular path at the base of Volcán el Cuervo leads through dark volcanic rocks to an opening that provides access to the interior crater.
The 1730 Timanfaya eruptions started at this location, initiating a six-year period of volcanic activity that transformed the landscape of Lanzarote.
Local farmers have adapted their agricultural practices near the volcano, developing methods to cultivate grapes and crops in the mineral-rich volcanic soil.
The volcano trek takes approximately 45 minutes from the parking area, with an additional 30 minutes required to complete the full circular route.
The crater's interior reveals geometric formations of solidified lava and allows visitors to stand within an ancient volcanic chamber at 388 meters elevation.
