General presentation
Lanzarote
A very legible volcanic island, between lava fields, beaches, white villages, works by César Manrique and excursions to La Graciosa.
To understand what Lanzarote is, you have to look at Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua and La Graciosa. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: wind is frequent and arid landscapes are not shaded. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Volcanic park
Parc national de Timanfaya
Timanfaya is a natural scene of volcanic terrain, visual heat and tilting horizons. The organised routes guide but the real reading is done in the break, between black soil, mineral glow and frozen lava lines. Long time turns a simple step into a real sensory experience.
Landscape
Paysages volcaniques de Lanzarote
Lanzarote's volcanic landscapes are a collection of time-carved forms, where soil, horizon lines and basaltic textures tell the territory without requiring a long explanation. The best moments come on the way, when the light reveals the reliefs in steps. The traveller gains to alternate great perspectives and close stops.
Developed site
Jameos del Agua
Jameos del Agua combines architecture, cavities and landscape in a very unique journey. The site is understood by progressive wandering, from light openings to more enclosed areas, which highlights the relationship between human intervention and geology. To enjoy, it is better to avoid the visit too dense and let the chains breathe.
Island
La Graciosa
La Graciosa offers an open coast, simple villages and roads that promote a quiet discovery. Between horizon, small coves and coastal wind, the rhythm arises naturally. The most beautiful impressions are often those taken without too tight a route, letting the landscape guide the step.
