Your day begins as you board your air-conditioned motorcoach for a guided scenic tour through the amazing lava-filled landscape to Camel Station, which lies on the outer edges of Timanfaya National Park. You'll travel past a spectacular expanse of dead volcanoes, craters and canyons formed by eruptions over 300 years ago.
The station is a starting point for the fun and exciting camel rides that takes visitors through the Park..
As you tour the Park, you'll be astounded by the intriguing shapes of molten lava left on the volcanic soil when violent eruptions devastated this part of the island hundreds of years ago. The eye-popping Montañas del Fuego (Fire Mountains) were created when more than 100 volcanoes rose up more than 31 miles and erupted. Covering over 12,600 acres, Timanfaya was declared a national park in 1968.
Your next destination is the wine valley of La Geria for a wine tasting. Renowned for excellent wines, this fertile valley is filled with bodegas (wine shops) where visitors can relax, sample and purchase wine.
By now, you've worked up an appetite so it's time for lunch in the picturesque village of Mancha Blanca.
This quaint village is Nestled amidst the rugged volcanic landscape of Lanzarote and offers a glimpse into the island's rich cultural heritage, its tranquil charm and stunning surroundings captivates the visitors.
Famous for its annual pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Dolores, Mancha Blanca exudes a sense of spiritual serenity. The whitewashed buildings adorned with colorful accents create a striking contrast against the dramatic backdrop of the volcanic terrain. Here you will stop for lunch at a popular restaurant.
Once in town, you'll make your way past narrow streets and alleys lined with whitewashed houses brightly dotted with bougainvilleas and stop for lunch at a popular restaurant.
After lunch, you'll reboard your motorcoach and depart for Mirador del Rio, Lanzarote's most famous viewpoint. Situated on Famara Cliff, the building stands 1,630 feet above sea level. Designed in 1973 by local artist César Manrique, the stone structure's semi-circular shape and large domed roof offer breathtaking views over the northern coastline, the straits of El Rio and Las Salinas del Rio, the island's oldest salt plains, which have been used since Roman times.
Your final stop before returning to your ship is a tour of Los Jameos del Agua. This massive open-air cavern is part of a four-mile long volcanic tunnel that was formed by molten lava after the eruption of the La Corona volcano 3,000 years ago. Due to the pressure built up by volcanic gases, the tunnel collapsed and developed openings in the solidified lava. These openings were discovered in 1968 and, based upon an idea by Manrique, were turned into a tropical garden, a pool, a bar and a 600-seat auditorium.
