Rising from the waters off Lanzarote's northern coast, this group of volcanic formations represents one of the Canary Islands' most strictly protected areas. The Los Islotes Integral Nature Reserve primarily encompasses Montaña Clara and Roque del Este, along with smaller islets forming part of the Chinijo Archipelago. Its designation as a maximum protection zone reflects the fragility of its ecosystems and the presence of endemic marine fauna and seabirds that find safe breeding grounds here.

Access is tightly regulated, which has preserved its nearly pristine condition. From boats sailing between La Graciosa and Lanzarote, visitors can admire their silhouettes outlined against the Atlantic horizon. Those hiking the Famara Cliffs enjoy privileged views of these islets, particularly at dawn when light creates dramatic contours over the ocean.

Beyond their ecological value, these islets hold tales of sailors, pirates and fishermen who navigated these waters for centuries. Today, the reserve stands as testament to a strong conservation commitment, where nature follows its course without human interference.
