Lanzarote South Tour: Volcanoes and Timanfaya National Park

The eruptions of Timanfaya 300 years ago forced half the population to leave the island and try to make a living away from Lanzarote. However, part of my family remained, enduring the 6 endless years during which 25 volcanoes buried 11 villages and the best farmland. On this tour you will not only enjoy lunar landscapes of unique beauty. By visiting the national park you will also understand what the eruptions of Timanfaya mean to us. Once inside the Timanfaya National Park we'll test the high temperatures recorded just below the earth's surface, followed by a tour around the amazing and unforgettable Route of the volcanoes. A photo-stop will be made at the beautiful volcano El Golfo, well known for its green lagoon. Continuing along the rugged coastline we'll see a stunning panoramic view of Los Hervideros with its many tidal pools and the salt flats of Janubio, the largest in the Canary Islands. In the way back to Arrecife, we'll drive and stop at La Geria the wine district.
