<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt first leads through lava fields that were formed during the eruption of Timanfaya between 1730 and 1736. Los Islotes refers to small islets that protrude from the lava fields. This refers to the volcanoes, which are lined up next to each other and stand out from the dark lava with their bright colours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The volcanoes Monta\u00f1a Blanca, Monta\u00f1a Caldereta and Risco Quebrado also belong to these „little islands“. At the foot and on the crater slopes and in the big crater you will even find plants and green bushes, depending on the rainfall. So it is not surprising that there are also goats and sheep that will accompany you on your hike. But before you climb the biggest volcano of the island, the Monta\u00f1a Blanca, you first pass the smaller volcano Monta\u00f1a Caldereta. This volcano can also be climbed in a small extension of this hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The entire area around the Monta\u00f1a Blanca belongs to the protected landscape area of La Geria. In this area the famous wine is cultivated on Lanzarote. The type of viticulture differs considerably from the type of cultivation known to us. Because on Lanzarote the wine is cultivated at ground level in hollows, which are filled with dark volcanic sand. On the way to the hike you can already see many of these vines in the fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you still have a little time before and after the hike, you should also visit the old capital of the island, Teguise. Only a few kilometres away from the starting point of the hike, there is the tranquil village. It is built in the typical old style of the island. The architect Caes\u00e1r Manrique, who was born on the island, made sure that here and in other places on Lanzarote the typical architectural style has been preserved. White houses with green windows dominate the street scene. It is worth visiting the village square, the church and the narrow streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting point of this hike is a small crossing at the LZ-67 at the place Mancha Blanca. Shortly after the place the LZ-67 makes a big curve. Two roads lead in different directions, so that there is a small crossing. Your walk starts here at the beginning of the road towards Monta\u00f1a Blanca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The small place Mancha Blanca is centrally located in the northern volcanic area of Lanzarote. So you can approach from all four directions on different access roads. At the LZ-67 you will find – as described above – the starting point of the hike. Parking is available at the roadside. If you like to walk less, you can also drive in the driveway and park there at the roadside.<\/p>\n\n\n Bus line 53, which runs between La Santa and Teguise, stops in Mancha Blanca. You can find more information on the homepage of the bus line<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t like to give general time information for hiking tours, as the times are very individual. We needed a total of 4 hours for this group hike with a detailed rest on the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The difference in altitude is about 400 meters. The distance is about 11.5 kilometers long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the hike is a little long, you should be in good shape. The ridge must be free of vertigo and sure-footed. But otherwise it is an easy and for everyone easy to master tour. The hiking trails are excellent and not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no restaurants, bars and shops on this hike. Therefore take enough water and food with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This tour can be combined well with various other hiking and circular walks in the vicinity. This way the hiking trail can be extended by walking around the volcanoes. Besides the Monta\u00f1a Blanca you can also climb the smaller neighbouring volcano Monta\u00f1a Caldereta. If the ascent of the Monta\u00f1a Blanca is too strenuous and you would like to see a volcano, you can of course only climb the Monta\u00f1a Caldereta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You start the hike at LZ-67 at the point where the road branches off towards Monta\u00f1a Blanca. First, walk along the road for a while. Here you can also park cars with hikers and from time to time caravans. The path goes through lava fields and on the left and right of the path you can also discover vineyards. After some time the fields will stop. Now you are already walking through lava fields, which seem to spread out to infinity next to the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Far ahead you can see the volcanoes Monta\u00f1a Caldereta and Monta\u00f1a Blanca. Then the road ends at two conspicuously painted barrels. On the right the actual hiking path begins, which now takes you further through the lava fields in a light up and down direction of the volcanoes. The path is well marked and equipped with informative signs about the volcanic landscape. About one hour after the beginning of the hike you reach the foot of the Monta\u00f1a Caldereta. You are now below the first volcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, at the foot of the Monta\u00f1a Caldereta, you will find green bushes again. You walk around to the right at the foot of the volcano along the footpath. After a short time the ascent goes up to the left. If you want to extend your hike, you can do it here by climbing the Monta\u00f1a Caldereta. The trail continues straight on. As soon as you have left the foot of the volcano on the footpath, the rest of the trail runs through dark lava rock again. When you have almost crossed the lava flow between the two volcanoes, a footpath meets your path from the left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is your later way back. But now you go straight on. Already after a short time you are standing at the foot of the Monta\u00f1a Blanca. The path leads you along the foot of the volcano. From time to time there is a little green here. But to your right is the dark lava flow. When you have circumnavigated about a fifth of the volcano, the path forks. If you keep to the right, you can get further into the lava fields and to other volcanoes. But keep left. This is the ascent to the Monta\u00f1a Blanca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ascent path is the small strenuous part of the hike. You are at an altitude of about 150 metres and from here you climb over 400 metres to the summit. At first, the path leads straight up along the slope. After some time you have reached the first difficult section and are on the edge of the huge volcano. From here you can take a first look into the huge crater. The view into the crater, up to the summit and to the surroundings is simply indescribable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But you also see that you are on the lower part of the crater rim. To the left in front above you is the summit. And to this summit you now climb further on the ridge path. On the whole way the view to the surroundings and also to the crater gets better and better. The path runs over rocks. But since it always goes uphill on a ridge, you can’t miss the way to the summit. At the summit you should rest at the surveying column and enjoy the overwhelming view.<\/p>\n\n\n When you have enjoyed the view of the summit enough, continue straight ahead along the ridge path. This will bring you slowly down over rocks to the other side of the volcano. When you have reached the opposite side of the summit, the volcano edge becomes a bit wider here. Once again you can enjoy the wonderful view from up here. Then a narrow descent path on the right leads you down the slope of the volcano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nLandscape reserve La Geria and the old capital Teguise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
