A Journey Through Lanzarote’s Volcanic Wonders

Our adventure began bright and early, as we were picked up at 8:45 in Costa Teguise. The excitement was palpable as we joined other families on the tour bus, ready to explore the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote. Our guide, Roland, was a treasure trove of knowledge, sharing fascinating insights about the island’s history and geology as we made our way to Timanfaya National Park.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the park’s otherworldly scenery, a vast expanse of lava fields and volcanic craters. The highlight for the kids was undoubtedly the geothermal demonstrations, where they witnessed firsthand the intense heat that still simmers beneath the surface. It was a thrilling experience that sparked their curiosity about the natural world. As we drove through the park, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the tour bus, as the queue for cars stretched on for hours.

Discovering Lanzarote’s Hidden Gems

After our volcanic adventure, we made a delightful stop at a local vineyard. While the adults enjoyed sampling the unique Lanzarote wine, the kids were intrigued by the surrounding landscape, dotted with grapevines growing in volcanic soil. Although we didn’t have time to visit the nearby museum, it was a reminder that there’s always more to explore on future trips.

Lunch was a family-friendly affair, with a buffet offering a variety of dishes to suit everyone’s tastes. For just €15, we enjoyed a hearty meal of chicken, meatballs, salad, and pasta, accompanied by a jug of red wine and water. It was a perfect opportunity to relax and recharge before continuing our journey.

Exploring the Enchanting Caves

Our next stop was the Cueva de los Verdes, a mesmerizing underground world that captivated both young and old. As we navigated the tunnels, the kids were thrilled by the adventure of ducking through low spots and discovering hidden chambers. The cave’s natural beauty and intriguing history made it a highlight of the day.

We concluded our tour at Jameos del Agua, a stunning fusion of nature and art. The kids were enchanted by the unique architecture and the serene atmosphere, while I marveled at the vision of César Manrique, who transformed this volcanic cave into a cultural masterpiece. As we made our way back to our accommodations, I reflected on the day’s adventures and the memories we had created together.

This tour was not only a fantastic way to explore Lanzarote’s natural wonders but also an educational experience that left a lasting impression on my family. For €89, it was excellent value, considering the entrance fees and the wealth of experiences we enjoyed. I highly recommend this tour to any family looking to discover the magic of Lanzarote.
