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 Puerto del Carmen.
After lunch, you'll reboard your motorcoach and depart for Mirador de lo Helechos, one of Lanzarote's most famous viewpoint. Located in the picturesque village of Haría on the island of Lanzarote, is a stunning viewpoint that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island's unique landscape. Perched atop a high vantage point, the Mirador provides visitors with a sweeping vista of Haría's lush valley, often referred to as the "Valley of a Thousand Palms" due to its abundance of palm trees. The view is a striking contrast to Lanzarote's predominantly arid terrain, showcasing a verdant and serene oasis nestled amidst volcanic mountains
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.
