TREKKING CORONA VOLCANO -<br />

RISCO FAMARA - HARIA VALLEY<br />

Long-distance route, in which<br />

you can have a good view of<br />

the north of the island.<br />

La Corona Volcano, then we will<br />

head towards the crest of the Risco<br />

de Famara.<br />

Volcán de La Corona and the cliffs of Famara within the Natural Park of<br />

the Chinijo Archipelago.<br />

We start in the town of Ye from where we head to the Corona volcano.<br />

After seeing its enormous crater, we will surround it on its east face to be<br />

able to observe in the distance how its 7.6 km long volcanic tube runs, of<br />

which 1.6 km are today submerged because this eruption occurred during<br />

the height of the last glacial era, when the sea level was more than 90<br />

meters below the current level.<br />

Later we will descend and walk a few kilometers in the central part of the<br />

Famara cliff, which with its 22km lenght rises like an impressive rock wall<br />

from sea level to more than 500 meters high, being able to see the top at<br />

a short distance from us. of the island; Las Peñas del Chache with its 670<br />

m and the wonderful view of the Chinijo Archipelago as a whole with the<br />

island of La Graciosa in the foreground, truly unforgettable!!!<br />
