About this experience
The sightseeing tour of Lanzarote offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the history, uniqueness, and modern life of the island. You will visit the main attractions, including the Timanfaya National Volcanic Park and the architectural-artistic complex Jameos del Agua - the most impressive project of the brilliant artist César Manrique, and take vibrant photos.
What to Expect
Pristine Nature
You will witness the unearthly beauty of the northern and southern parts of the island with the area most affected by volcanic eruptions of the 18th century. You will learn what distinguished these eruptions from others worldwide and why Lanzarote is called "la isla diferente," which means "the different island." Get ready to delve into the basics of volcanology and geology and hear an engaging story about the peculiarities of volcanic activity, research activities on the island, and local anomalies. I will introduce you to the history of the island from its colonization to the present day, tell you about its geographical and economic features, local residents, culture, and traditions.
Martian Landscapes
You will see the last active salt flats and take photos against the backdrop of the famous "green lagoon." Discover that Lanzarote's black beaches are just as romantic as the white beaches of the Indian Ocean islands, and find your own happiness-inducing olivine in volcanic sand. You will also enjoy the magnificent sight of the boiling ocean on the basalt coast of Los Hervideros.
