This is a combination of the highlights from the north and south tours.
This great day takes you to the beautiful bay of El Golfo, where the Olivin stone was discovered. You will see the rugged coastline of Los Hervideros and the salt flats of Janubio, where you will learn about the importance of salt extraction in the island’s history.
We make our way towards the Timanfaya National Park, home to The Fire Mountains. Here you will see the geothermal experiments, demonstrating the immense heat just below the surface. You will have time to visit the natural oven where food is cooked by Mother Nature, before the coach takes you on the magnificent crater tour with the best views of the lava fields.
A tasty, three-course lunch is enjoyed in a typical Canarian village before journeying through La Geria, home to the most unusual vineyards in the world. You will learn the history and process of wine-making with the opportunity to taste the wines.
Passing Monumento al Campesino at the centre of the island, we head northbound by driving through Teguise, the ancient Capital of Lanzarote, before we arrive close to the highest peak on the island, Peňas del Chache (671 m). From this view point, you will be able to take photos of the northeaster coastline and Haria, home to The Valley of the Thousand Palm trees.
Through the winding roads we make our way to the Guinate view point, over looking the Chinijo Islands, Alegranza, Montaňa Clara and La Graciosa.
Our visit to Jameos del Agua is a great end to the day. Here, our gifted Cesar Manrique has left his mark. Enchanting subterranean gardens and the magnificent auditorium are examples of the artist’s great artistic talent. Jameos del Agua is also home to the blind albino crab. Don’t forget to look around the Volcanic museum dedicated to volcanology studies.
You will be back at your pick up points at around 6.30 pm.
PLEASE NOTE’ NO CAMEL RIDE on this excursion, but we do stop for you to photograph the camels.
