The Hervideros

The Hervideros

Los Hervideros is an impressive set of rock formations found on the west coast of the island of Lanzarote located between the Salinas de Janubio and El Golfo that shows, as in so many places in Lanzarote, the always surprising spectacle of nature. This area is famous for its caves and lava passages that have been shaped by the action of the sea and the wind for thousands of years.

The name "Los Hervideros" is due to the impressive action of the sea crashing against the rocks, creating a kind of hotbed that produces a thunderous sound and an impressive visual spectacle. The force of the sea has created numerous grottos and caves in the rocks, through which the sea water enters and leaves with great force, generating an effect of steam that rises and leaves through the fissures and cracks in the rocks.

The visit to Los Hervideros is a unique and impressive experience since the visitor can contemplate the natural spectacle of the force of the sea, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, and the sensation of being in a completely wild and natural place. Also, near Los Hervideros is the Timanfaya National Park, which is also a must for tourists visiting Lanzarote.

This area of the coast is one of the favorites for fans of angling. Good connoisseurs of the place, it is amazing to see them walk calmly along the rocks with the rough sea until they reach the chosen location. It goes without saying that for non-regulars emulating them is a great risk.

In conclusion, if you're planning a trip to Lanzarote, a visit to Los Hervidores is a must. It's a stunning natural attraction that will leave you in awe and provide you with memories that will last a lifetime.
