Islote de Hilario - Parque Nacional de Timanfaya

What to see and do

There are places where the earth still breathes fire, and the Islote de Hilario, heart of Timanfaya National Park, is one of them. Nestled among petrified lava fields and dormant craters, this visitor center offers a unique window into Lanzarote's geological power. Here, just meters below the surface, volcanic heat reaches scorching temperatures, proven through live demonstrations: brushwood bursting into flames, water exploding into geysers of steam.

The experience continues with a bus tour along the Volcano Route, winding between volcanic cones and lava flows that seem frozen in time. Every turn reveals impossible panoramas, a lunar landscape that captivates cameras and gazes alike. Additionally, the El Diablo restaurant, designed by César Manrique, cooks its dishes using direct volcanic heat, transforming each meal into an act of communion with nature.

Well-organized and accessible through advance booking, Islote de Hilario has become essential for those seeking to connect with the island's primal force, a place where photography and geology merge into pure emotion.
