Mirador Los Hervideros

Lanzarote

A landscape sculpted by the sea and the lava

"Los Hervideros consists of some volcanic caves located on the south-western coast of Lanzarote. The crashing of the waves against the cliffs and the way the water swirls between the rocky cavities results in a living landscape that is full of colour, especially at high tide. This phenomenon gives its name to the viewpoint itself, as the water seems to boil up from the rocks (Hervidero comes from the Spanish verb hervir, to boil). To visit them, you have to go down the steps and the designated paths leading to the different balconies. If the water is rough, we recommend you take some minimal safety measures, especially if you are with children."

Complement your visit to the Los Hervideros Viewpoint

Los Hervideros is very close to the Timanfaya National Park and Charco de los Clicos, two natural emblems that you simply must visit. Also, a few kilometres away, in the village of El Golfo, one can enjoy delicious local food like the local fresh fish.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Respect and look after the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, binoculars and telescopes, etc.).
Respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths and spaces causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
