The Timanfaya National Park or the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya is a ‘Martian’ landscape with rare plant species.

The history of the place goes like this- during the time between 1730 to 1736, more than a100 volcanoes erupted in the region. Covering more than 50 km², these volcanic eruptions devastated this part of the island, including several villages. Due to lack of erosion, this area appears pretty much the same as it did just after the eruptions. Hence, it looks like the surface of Mars!

The area was declared a national park in the year 1968. At the park, several demonstrations of how hot the area is are given. Sample this- dry brush thrown into a hole in the ground catches fire immediately, while water poured into a bore hole erupts seconds later in the form of steam!

It is advised to take a Guide to explore and enjoy park freely around the volcanoes.
