Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Timanfaya National Park is one of the most striking natural landscapes onearth. Known for its dramatic volcanic terrain, it offers visitors a surreal experience of vast lava fields, craters, and geothermal activity. The terrain is a mix of black, red, and ochre-hued volcanic rocks, resembling a lunar or Martian landscape.
The ground just a few meters below the surface reaches temperatures of up to 600°C. Park rangers demonstrate the intense heat by pouring water into holes, which instantly erupts as steam or placing dry branches on the ground, which ignite due to the subterranean heat.

El Golfo is a small coastal village in southwestern Lanzarote, famous for its stunning green lagoon (Charco de los Clicos), unique volcanic landscapes, and excellent seafood restaurants. It is part of Los Volcanes Natural Park, offering one of the most iconic and photogenic views on the island.

Stop 3

A half-submerged volcanic crater filled with bright green water, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding black volcanic sand.The color comes from algae thriving in the lagoon’s mineral-rich waters. Best viewed from a very short hiking trail leading to a panoramic viewpoint.

Stop 4

Bodega La Geria is one of Lanzarote’s most iconic wineries, offering a unique blend of history, tradition, and breathtaking scenery.
Here’s why it’s a must-visit:
Unique Volcanic Vineyards – Unlike traditional vineyards, La Geria’s vines are grown in black volcanic ash, using a distinctive "zoco" technique—semi-circular stone walls that protect the vines from wind while capturing moisture.
Exclusive Wine Tasting – The bodega produces Malvasía Volcánica, a grape variety found almost exclusively in Lanzarote, known for its crisp, mineral-rich, and slightly fruity wines.
Spectacular Landscape – Nestled within Timanfaya National Park, the contrast between the black lava fields and lush green vines creates an otherworldly beauty, making it one of the most photographed vineyards in Spain.Whether you're a wine lover, nature enthusiast, or culture seeker, Bodega La Geria promises a memorable and immersive experience in Lanzarote’s one-of-a-kind volcanic landscape.
