What could be more breathtaking than riding a camel through a terrain that resembles a lunar landscape? Suitable for all ages, this four-hour, once-in-a-lifetime guided adventure begins when you board your fully air-conditioned motorcoach for the 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.

Once you arrive, you'll notice that the camel station also includes a café, restrooms and a small museum that displays fascinating geological specimens from the Park. But the highlight of your visit will be the thrilling camel ride. Experienced camelleros (camel handlers) will meet you and introduce you to your friendly and well-trained "ship of the desert," which is a dromedary or one-hump camel and quite common in Africa, just 62 miles away.

While the camel is sitting, the camelleros will help you climb up and into a wooden seat, which sits two persons on top of the hump. Then, after making sure that every passenger is properly balanced, the camel will rise up (hold on - the camel may lurch forward) and you're off on an exciting 20-minute ride through Timanfaya National Park.

At the end of your camel adventure you'll board your motorcoach to reach the "heart" of Timanfaya.

Made of nothing but volcanic soil, the Park looks the same as it did when violent volcanic eruptions devastated this part of the island hundreds of years ago. You'll see the Montañas del Fuego (Fire Mountains) that were created when more than 100 volcanoes rose up over 31 miles and erupted. In 1968, the area, encompassing over 12,600 acres, was declared a national park.

At the end of the " Lunar route" you will leave the Fire Mountains to reach the wine valley of La Geria.

Covered in black volcanic ash, the vineyards look like they've been transported here from another planet. You may think that nothing would be able to grow or flourish but farmers found a clever way of cultivating vines on this arid and hostile ground. They dug more than 10,000 funnel-shaped hollows into the thick layers of ash, planted the vines and filled them with soil and poured thick layers of ash over them. The volcanic granules retained the night humidity to feed the plants. This unique cultivation method resulted in a prosperous wine industry, renowned for excellent wines, which can be sampled and purchased in a number of local winegrowers' bodegas (wine shops).

After enjoying a sampling of these locally produced wines, you'll return to your ship along the same other worldly drive.
