Lanzarote is just 30 minutes by boat from Fuerteventura, which is a short time to travel for an otherworldly experience. On this small group tour, you'll explore the island's moon-like landscapes and sample the fruity wines of La Geria. Leo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘When I was a little boy, I heard legendary local architect Cesar Manrique, who was a family friend, say that “The true artist of Lanzarote is the farmer who, with his hands and camel, has been able to draw La Geria”. You'll discover what he meant.'
After an early pick-up, we'll head by minibus to Corralejo harbour to board the ferry to Playa Blanca on the south of Lanzarote. You'll start the tour with a scenic drive through scorched earth towards Timanfaya National Park. Learn all about volcanoes in the interpretative centre and enjoy a few party tricks, courtesy of the geothermic earth below you. You'll then embark on the lunar route. Its eerie red-black landscapes are home to a third of Lanzarote's volcanoes.
Next, the fun continues with a visit to a family-owned winery in La Geria. See how the vines grow in the moist volcanic ash while shielded from the winds by horseshoe-shaped stone walls. With this visit, you contribute to the local community and economy. Next, we'll head for Timanfaya National Park coastal edge, where we'll stop at the remote village of El Golfo to see its famous green lagoon and then enjoy free time to grab a bite to eat in one of the ocean-front restaurants.
