El Hierro: The Untamed Canary Island

While mass tourism transforms the nearby islands, El Hierro—the most westerly and wildest of the Canary Islands—has quietly embraced a different path. This remote island has carved a reputation for its commitment to sustainable tourism, its rugged landscapes, and its distinct charm.

A Geological and Ecological Wonder

El Hierro, a heart-shaped formation off the west coast of Africa, is the youngest and second smallest of the Canary Islands. It emerged from the Atlantic Ocean around 1.2 million years ago, the result of undersea volcanic eruptions. This violent geological history has created a strikingly varied landscape, from fertile valleys and evergreen forests to sky-high cliffs and lunar-like volcanic cones.
