Lanzarote , 458 m – visited April 2010.

When leaving the road and after driving offroad for a couple of minutes, we reach the start of the walk through the black lava sea which is leading us to the crater of the Caldera Blanca.

This is a surreal environment and nothing like I have seen before.  Without a path it would even be impossible to reach the Caldera Blanca. 

And it only gets better when you reach the volcano, you can climb to the crater rim and walk around it for about an hour of splendid views of the crater and the surrounding volcanoes. An unforgettable experience.

Lanzarote, 603m – Visited April 2010.

Make no mistake, this is a hill of only 300 metres high but when it is windy – and it mostly is on Lanzarote – you will find climbing this hill not easy at all.  It is a rather pointy hill and the views are superb on the top.  The wind adds an extra to the experience, you feel like on a high mountain and can see much of the island, including La Geria and the Timanfaya NP. 

Highly recommended walk, starts from Uga town centre and then follows a nice track through the La Geria wineyards.

Lanzarote – visited april 2010.

This volcano is easily accessible from the main road, and a 4 km walk brings you into another world.  This volcano looks mytical when walking into its surroundings, what is more astonishing is that you can walk inside the volcano through a crack in the wall.  You can experience the formation of rocks and witness how nature survives in barren country.  Inside you can easily sit a long time and dream away.  There are many flowers inside the crater. 

You can also walk along the ridge, but this seems unstable, so maybe a bit dangerous.  We skipped this part.
