It’s located south of Los Llanos, about a 20-minute drive. The original road was destroyed by the volcano's eruption, but a new road has been built that crosses the lava flows. It's perfectly paved, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting there. Next to the interpretation center, you'll find a parking lot where you can leave the car.
