Timanfaya National Park. Lanzarote

The volcanoes and unspoilt lava fields of this 5,000-hectare national park off the west coast of the island of Lanzarote are one of the most picturesque visual spectacles in the Canary Islands. Untouched by human hands, neither vegetation nor climate have had time to alter the pure beauty of this jet-red land included in a Unesco Biosphere Reserve. The environmental quality of Timanfaya is such that in order to conserve it better it is only possible to access certain areas, some of them after paying an entrance fee. © iStock/sssanchez
