ACTIVITY SELECTED: COASTAL ROUTE FROM EL GOLFO (GUIDED IN ENGLISH)

Description of the activity

Along the only coastal path located within a National Park in the Canary Islands, the visitor can witness how life was able to blossom again after hot lava destroyed it during the XVIII and XIX century. As a consequence of this eruptive period and after lava came in contact with seawater, a smaller and uneven new coastline was formed, and this is where the Route unfolds.

Attending to last Instructions about Contingency Plan to reduce the risk against the SARS-COV-2 in the Timanfaya National Park, we would like to inform you about the visiting conditions:

• During the transportation of visitors in the official vehicles of the Park, to the beginning of the route, the use of recommended masks is mandatory. Always following established rules and preventing unnecessary objects from being touched. 

• Visitors will be prevented from touching any interpretive material (posters, signs... ) as well as natural materials (stones, plants or animals).

We wish you a pleasant visit and welcome you to Timanfaya National Park.
