Overview
Trekking in small groups
Ascent by off-road vehicles along the panoramic northern slope up to 2,825 meters. From there, the hike continues on foot through volcanic scoria and lava bombs, with a 500-meter elevation gain, reaching the rim of the Central Crater at 3,380 meters.
After a stop at the summit to observe the volcanic landscape, the descent is on foot down to 1,800 meters (approx. 7 km), crossing large gullies filled with soft volcanic sand.
Main data:

• Maximum altitude: 3,380 m
• Minimum altitude: 1,800 m
• Ascent: +500 m
• Descent: -1,580 m (the long downhill section may be more demanding than the climb)
• Difficulty: Suitable only for experienced hikers
Note:
Participants who decide during the excursion to return by bus from 2,850 m to 1,800 m must pay €70 instead of €50.
