What you can expect

  • This approximately 3-hour trekking excursion (medium/high level) starts at Llano del Jable and ends at Las Manchas. Always accompanied by licensed guides, we'll set off along the trail that has been created specifically to reach the vantage point overlooking the crater of the new Tajogaite volcano.
    Until now, we could only admire this natural phenomenon from about 300 metres away. Today, with this new 360º sightseeing tour that is being launched three years after the island's eruption, we will walk over ash and lapilli from the volcano's northern area to its southern area.
    We'll enjoy unique views as we make our way along the trail, see the changes that have taken place in the volcano's surroundings, and get closer to the crater. An impressive sight that is sure to make an impression.
    Along the way, we'll see various monitoring and measurement instruments that are still being used today to study the eruptive process. We'll be amazed to see fig trees and chestnut trees sprouting on the edges of the volcano and how the Canarian pine is once again winning the battle against catastrophes.
    At the end, we'll reach Las Manchas, the birthplace of the volcano and one of the areas most affected by this phenomenon in September 2021.
