Caldera de los Cuervos
Volcán del Cuervo
The first volcano to erupt in the great 1730 eruption, with a gentle loop trail that leads straight into the crater, making it the easiest volcano hike.
Montaña del Cuervo is one of the earliest volcanoes to erupt in the great Timanfaya eruption of September 1730. It lies outside the national park and can be entered freely. From a small parking area beside the LZ-56 road, a flat loop of about 4 kilometers crosses the lava field, then passes through a gap that leads you straight into the crater floor, where you can see up close the red and black volcanic cinders, lava bombs and olivine crystals encased in volcanic gravel. The whole walk takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and suits all ages. Stepping off the trail and picking up stones is prohibited.
