Can you go inside a volcano in the Canary Islands?

Yes. Lanzarote's Timanfaya National Park offers guided tours through volcanic landscapes, and you can descend into the Cueva de los Verdes lava tube. Tenerife's Mount Teide has a cable car that takes you close to the summit crater.

Are volcano tours safe?

Yes, all volcano tours operate in safe, dormant volcanic areas. The last volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands was in 2021 on La Palma. Guides are trained in safety protocols and routes are well-maintained.
