Discover the volcanic heritage in northern Lanzarote

Discover the fascinating volcanic heritage of northern Lanzarote on this half-day excursion and experience a combination of culture, history, and some of the island's most remarkable natural attractions. The tour begins with a panoramic view of Teguise, the former capital of Lanzarote. From this vantage point, you'll admire the traditional Canarian architecture and learn about the historical significance of this charming town, which was once the island's political and cultural center.

The journey then continues to the north of Lanzarote, a region characterized by volcanic activity and breathtaking landscapes. The first highlight is Jameos del Agua, a unique natural area within a volcanic tunnel formed by the eruptions of the La Corona volcano. This extraordinary place is known for its underground lagoon, home to a unique endemic species of small albino crabs. The attraction is also renowned for the harmonious integration of volcanic nature and architectural elements.

The excursion continues to the Cueva de los Verdes, one of the most impressive volcanic tubes in the Canary Islands. This extensive underground structure was formed by ancient lava flows from the La Corona volcano and has been opened to visitors, allowing you to explore some of the spectacular geological formations created by centuries of volcanic activity. A walk through the tunnels provides a unique insight into the volcanic origins and natural history of the island.

On the return journey, enjoy the views of the characteristic prickly pear cactus plantations, which provide a habitat for the cochineal insect and are traditionally used to produce natural dyes. After this scenic drive through northern Lanzarote, you will return to the designated pick-up points.
