What's included in Hiking route to the Calderón Hondo Volcano
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Hiking route to the Calderón Hondo Volcano, which occurred some 135,000 years ago. The Joung Volcano, one of the best preserved craters in Fuerteventura, and a clear example of the island's recent volcanism. Fuerteventura is 23 million years old, so the eruption of the Calderón Hondo, which occurred about 135,000 years ago, occurred relatively recently in the geological past of the island. We will begin our journey along an easily accessible cobbled path. At 278 metres high, at the top of the climb, there is a viewing point next to the edge of the volcano with majestic views of the crater, as well as Majanicho, the Corralejo Dunes and Lanzarote. This entire volcanic area is a place of great geological, scenic and cultural interest, as in its surroundings you can find archaeological remains from the pre-Hispanic era, such as circular dry stone constructions that served as housing and corrals for livestock.
