Pico Partido

What to see and doTourist Attraction

Pico Partido stands as a living record of Lanzarote's most transformative volcanic chapter. Located within the Los Volcanes Natural Park, this volcano represents one of the earliest eruptive centers formed during the legendary Timanfaya eruption of 1730, forever altering the island's landscape.

Access is on foot via a narrow trail that winds through the malpaís—a labyrinth of solidified lava offering almost lunar sensations. As you approach the volcanic cone, the terrain reveals its intimate nature: walkable volcanic tubes allow you to venture into the earth's depths, where molten lava once flowed centuries ago.

From its surroundings, you'll enjoy expansive views toward Timanfaya, with the volcanic mountain range stretching across the horizon. The route is accessible for families and hikers of all levels, offering an educational and visual experience hard to forget. The site's energy, the brittle texture of volcanic rock underfoot, and the silence of the malpaís create a unique connection with the Canary Islands' active geology.
