What to see in Lanzarote?
Lanzarote is brimming with impressive natural sites and breathtaking activities. Here are the must-see places to explore the island in all its facets.
Timanfaya National Park
A trip to Lanzarote wouldn't be complete without a visit to Timanfaya , a national park entirely shaped by volcanic eruptions. Guided tours offer insights into the island's volcanic history, and for the more adventurous, exploring the park on camelback is an option.
The La Geria wine region
Who would have thought that volcanic soil could produce excellent wines? Here in Lanzarote, vines grow in craters carved directly into the rock. It's a fascinating place to visit, where you can taste local wines in an exceptional setting.
Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes
Two sites formed by ancient lava flows that sculpted underground galleries. Jameos del Agua , designed by the artist César Manrique , features a natural lagoon inhabited by tiny white crabs found nowhere else in the world. As for the Cueva de los Verdes , it's a lava tunnel over 6 km long that immerses visitors in an astonishing world.
The Mirador del Río
Mirador del Río offers an exceptional panoramic view of the island of La Graciosa and the Atlantic Ocean. Designed by César Manrique, this place perfectly blends architecture and nature, with large bay windows that allow you to admire the horizon.
