Try to venture a little into the flow from 1991-93, at the beginning of the Val Calanna. You will find completely smooth areas, as though they were artificially built roads: these are portions of “pahoehoe” lava, which in Hawaiian means “smooth, unbroken lava”. Give it a try!...

You will find several places and viewpoints along the cliffs of the Timpe. In these areas shaped by time and the movement of the earth, you can see many lava flows emerging along the roads.
