How to get to the Cueva de las Cabras in Lanzarote?
The Cueva de las Cabras is near the town of Haría in Lanzarote. Since it is not easily accessible, it is important that you pay attention so you know how to get there.
The first thing you need to be aware of is that you are not looking for a cave, although the name suggests otherwise. The Cueva de las Cabras is actually a lookout point!
It can be reached from an asphalted road on the cliffs of Risco de Famara. But don’t worry because the walk is easy, unless you struggle with vertigo.
First, leave your car at the Mirador del Bosquecillo viewpoint and walk in the direction of Famara, following the cliffs. After going down some steps you will see the cave, which is actually a kind of ‘window’ overlooking Caleta de Famara.
How long does it take to get to the Cueva de las Cabras?
To see the Cueva de las Cabras in Lanzarote you will walk about 11 kilometres, there and back. It takes in the region of three hours to complete the walk.
How difficult is the route to the Cueva de las Cabras?
To get to the Cueva de las Cabras in Lanzarote you have to walk along paths which are fairly narrow in places and have steep vertical drops (due to the proximity of the cliffs). For this reason, not everyone is brave enough to do it.
The route is well signposted and could be described as moderately difficult, as long as you are fine with heights that is. However, if there is a strong wind when you choose to do it, you may be better off leaving it for another day.
What is the best time of year to visit the Cueva de las Cabras?
Any time of year is a good time to enjoy the spectacle offered by the Cueva de las Cabras in Lanzarote, but our advice is to avoid the windier months or those with more chances of rain.
Ideally, as this is an outdoor activity, the best time to do this route is in spring or early autumn, when you will also find fewer visitors. In summer, if temperatures are very high, it can be somewhat less pleasant, although the view at the end of the walk is well worth it!
What kind of landscapes and views can be enjoyed along the route?
One of the great things about visiting the Cueva de las Cabras in Lanzarote is when you are able to enjoy the scenery once you reach the end of the path.
From this point the views of La Graciosa, the Atlantic Ocean, Famara Beach and a large portion of the south of Lanzarote are truly stunning.
