Volcanic film locations in the Canary Islands

The Canaries are a volcanic archipelago through and through, which delivers a range of landscape few regions can offer within such a short radius: from lava flows barely a few years old to calderas eroded over millions, via underground tubes and black-ash deserts.

On La Palma, the Tajogaite eruption (2021) left a brand-new landscape that can now be filmed with the right authorisations; Teneguía (1971) and San Antonio offer consolidated cones and badlands minutes from the road. This guide tours the volcanic settings in our catalogue grouped by type, each with its full location page.

Many of these places sit inside protected natural areas: permits come from the relevant environment department and are best requested weeks in advance. How it works, in our guide to filming permits in the Canary Islands.
