Lanzarote tour with Timanfaya National Park and Jameos del Agua
This grand tour of Lanzarote leaves no stone unturned. ‘You'll unearth the secrets of this volcanic island through the eyes of someone who has made it their home,' says Daria, one of our expert guides. Discover the island's spectacular green north and the volcanic south, visiting Timanfaya National Park, Jameos del Agua caves and a winery along the way.The fun starts with a trip to the subterranean salt lake at Jameos del Agua. This ancient volcanic cavern was converted into a bar and concert space by local architectural legend, Cesar Manrique. After lunch, you'll get to find out how grapes are grown at a volcanic soil winery. You'll sample one-of-a-kind local wines from La Geria, a unique wine-growing region created after the Timanfaya volcanic eruptions 300 years ago. Next up is the Salinas de Janubio salt flats where traditional methods are still in use. Seawater enters shallow basins, evaporates under the sun, and workers harvest the salt manually. These salt flats are a haven for migratory and coastal bird species.Thanks to its otherworldly natural landscape, Lanzarote was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1993. And the star of the show here is undoubtedly Timanfaya National Park. Follow the famous Lunar Route and explore lava fields, volcano craters and steaming geysers as you learn about why the whole island has achieved this special UNESCO-listed status. Then, experience it up close as you feel the heat beneath your feet and witness brushwood burn into flames.

The inside story
At first glance, La Geria looks more like a lunar landscape than a wine region. Stretching across Lanzarote’s volcanic interior, this striking valley is defined by thousands of vine pits dug into black ash, each protected by a semicircular stone wall. Shaped by volcanic eruptions in the 18th century, La Geria is one of the island’s most distinctive landscapes and a remarkable example of how local growers adapted to challenging conditions.
As you explore, you can visit family-run wineries, sample wines made from the island’s Malvasía Volcánica grape and learn how vines thrive in ash-rich soil with little rainfall. Scenic roads wind through the valley, offering views of volcanic cones, vineyards and traditional bodegas at every turn. The vines in La Geria are grown almost entirely without irrigation, relying on volcanic ash to capture and retain moisture from the air.
