Lanzarote - Montaña Caldera Blanca ( white boiler mountain )

When the crater of a volcano is very large, then the volcano is called a boiler (caldera in spanish). The Caldera Blanca boiler is the biggest one in Lanzarote with 1200 meters in diameter. What makes this ancient volcano boiler unique is that its color is white.

Dirt roads From Tinajo take you across rivers of solid lava to get the edge of the volcano.


It only takes about 30 minutes to go up and down to the top.
