The trail opens with wind that tugs at your jacket and a view that keeps pulling your attention: black volcanic ridges slicing toward the sea, and a distant La Graciosa island like a spare coin on the horizon. You climb across scoria and compacted lava flows, the path working steadily upward to Peñas del Chache — Lanzarote’s highest point at roughly 670 m — where the island unfurls in 360 degrees.

History
Lanzarote’s landscape was reshaped by eruptions in the 18th century and later, and local dry-stone agriculture reflects centuries of adapting to volcanic soil and wind.
Conservation
Stay on established paths to protect fragile lichen and endemic plants; volcanic soils recover slowly from trampling, so guided routes help limit impact.
