What travellers say about El Cotillo

Senior in Age, Student at Heart19 November 2021
5.0
With so many volcanoes on the island, I felt it was necessary to pay one a visit, and so one day we set off to the Calderon Hondo, one of the island’s best preserved examples with a crater of over 70 metres. I set off pretty early in the morning. The walk was incredibly easy, apart from the uneven stone path and steep sloping steps at the very end, and took me approximately half an hour. Upon reaching the top, I found a vantage point from which I was able to look down into the volcano’s crater as well as view the surrounding area including various other volcanoes and even across the water to Lanzarote.
