TEGUISE – EL CUERVO VOLCANO

Starting from Teguise, we will soon be crossing one of the unique landscapes of Lanzarote: El Jable. This semi-desertic area has been successfully cultivated during centuries by the farmers of Lanzarote, and it is home of the endemic bird Canarian Hubara (Chlamydotis undulata fuertaventurae).

After crossing the village of Tiagua, the former economic capital of Lanzarote, we will start spotting the outskirts of the Natural Park of the Volcanoes, the result of the eruptions that devastated nearly a quarter of the surface of Lanzarote shaping one of the most beautiful volcanic landscapes on Earth.
