Highlight • Viewpoint
Never leave waste of any kind in the environment, including cigarette butts. Food remains contribute to the proliferation of rodents and feral cats that pose a serious threat to wildlife.
- Respect the animals, do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number 112. Also do not pluck flowers or plants.
- Do not collect or take stones or any other element from the natural environment. Nor do you modify it by piling them up to make the sadly famous “towers.”
- Do not practice sports activities outside the permitted areas.

Malpaso Peak
Highlight • Summit
The Malpaso volcano is the highest point on the island of El Hierro.
Malpaso has a height of approximately 1,501 meters above sea level.
Although it is a volcano, Malpaso has been dormant for many years. The island of El Hierro, in general, is known for its volcanic activity, the most recent being the underwater eruption near La Restinga in 2011.
There are several routes leading to the top, offering stunning views of the island and, on clear days, the neighboring islands.
The area around Malpaso is rich in flora and fauna, including endemic species and laurel forests, a type of subtropical humid forest that is rare and protected.
From the top, you can get panoramic views of the entire island, including the coastline and the Atlantic Ocean. On clear days, you can see the neighboring islands of La Palma, La Gomera and Tenerife.
