In our opinion this walk this is a highlight of the island. It visited lots of extinct volcanoes along the central rim of Cumbre Vieja. Just an incredible days hiking in spectacular scenery that was just so unusual and outside of most peoples experience. A "must-do" walk!
We started at the visitor center at "Area Recreativa El Pilar". From here we skirted Pico Birigoya and climbed slowly through the trees until we reached the huge crater at Hoya Negro and Pico Nambroque, which exploded in 1949.
Then its was onto view the huge lava fields of Maltorada before climbing to the crater and peak of Volcan de la Deseada (1945m). From there a gentle descent past Volcan Cabrito brought us to the crater of Volcan Martin (1529m). We descended through sandy lava fields on good tracks to our waiting transport at the Refugio Fuente de los Roques.
