Timanfaya National Park

If there's one place you go in Lanzarote then it has to be the Timanfaya National Park. Covering almost a quarter of Lanzarote's surface and created over the space of six years between 1730 to 1736 the islands National Park is a real treat.  Volcanologists still believe the area is active and go on a guided tour to be shown the heat and power that's still beneath the rocks. You can also enjoy a traditional meal cooked only by geothermal heat at 'El Diablo' restaurant. 

Cueva de Los Verdes

The Green Cave (as it translates into English), forms part of the 7 kilometre long Volcanic Tunnel which was created over 3 000 years ago when Montaña La Corona erupted. Well worth a visit, if not just to discover the optical illusion at the end of the tour...
Located in Parque Nacional de Timanfaya

Guinate Tropical Park

A large park overlooked by Lanzarote's largest mountains and housing an array of exotic birds and wild animals. With regular shows and a children's play area there's plenty to keep visitors entertained.

Jameos del Agua

Part of the 6 kilometre long volcanic tunnel, Jameos del Agua were formed when the pressure of volcanic gases burst through the tunnel roof exposing it to the elements. There's plenty to see, not just the rock formations but the clear water lakes, caverns and even some albino crabs!

Jardin de Cactus

You can't get lost finding the entrance to this park as it is dominated by an eight metre sculpture of a cactus...a hint of what you're going to find inside. Opened in 1991 there are over 10 000 types of cactus housed in the park which you can view at your leisure. A gift shop and a small restaurant complete the experience.

Scuba Diving

It may not be the first destination that springs to mind when you think of scuba diving but Lanzarote has some great diving locations where you can see fish and other marine life as well as wrecks. Puerto Carmen is a good place for beginners as there's a good range of dive sites to suit all levels, however advanced.
