Description
The Best-Preserved Volcanic Crater in Fuerteventura.
Fuerteventura is 23 million years old, which means that the eruption of Calderón Hondo, which took place around 135,000 years ago, occurred relatively recently in the island’s geological history.
We will begin our excursion along an easy-access cobbled path. At an altitude of 278 metres, at the top of the ascent, there is a viewpoint located on the edge of the volcano, offering majestic views of the crater and even of the island of Lanzarote.
This volcanic area is of great geological, scenic and cultural interest, as the surrounding landscape is home to prehispanic archaeological remains, such as circular dry-stone structures that were traditionally used as dwellings and livestock enclosures.
On the return journey, we will visit an organic aloe vera farm, where we will learn about the properties and traditional uses of this emblematic local plant.
