Detailed itinerary

After a journey of about 40 minutes from the pick-up point, we visit the Cueva de los Verdes, a unique formation of landscape and volcanological characteristics of extraordinary value. Located in the north of the island, and integrated into the vast volcanic landscape of Malpaís de la Corona, it is one of the wonders hidden in the bowels of Lanzarote, endowed with a mysterious and special character.

Stop 2

Los Jameos del Agua has its origin after the eruption of the Corona Volcano. The word “jameo” is of Guanche origin, and refers to the hole that occurs as a result of the collapse of the roof of a volcanic tube, in this case, the Corona volcanic tube.

Those who do not wish to enter Jameos del Agua will be able to see the "Jameo Rearo", which is free and next to the sea. The underwater part of all these volcanic tubes is known as the "Atlantis Tunnel", one of the most important tunnels in the world. You can also enjoy some time at the "Playa de la Pequena", located at the back of Jameos del Agua, although it is not usually suitable for swimming due to the waves, you can sunbathe and get your feet wet.

Located next to the Mirador del Rio and about 500 meters high, this cliff offers a spectacular panoramic view of Lanzarote and the island of La Graciosa.

After a panoramic bus ride of about 15 minutes we arrived at Haría, located in the charming “valley of a thousand palm trees”, one of the best native palm groves in the Canary Islands. As the road enters between mountains, this oasis appears in the middle of the pure geology of the island: green lands and crops dotted with the white of the popular island architecture. Normally this is the place chosen by the guide to give free time to eat. (Food not included)

La Geria is a peculiar area of the island of Lanzarote where vineyard plantations abound.

With a volcanic landscape and arid land, the quality of its wines is surprising. The presence of vineyards in land like this is unusual. We will stop at a winery to have a small shot of wine.

Its 200 kilometers of extension are part of the Timanfaya National Park, where one of the largest volcanic activities in the world can be seen, both for the immense amount of materials thrown by the fire, and for its spectacular duration: six years between 1730 and 1736. where the bowels of the island did not stop roaring.
