Excursion to Timanfaya – mornings

On this volcano tour, discover the Timanfaya National Park, Lanzarote’s great tourist attraction. Visit Timanfaya in a single morning, in the free time you usually have between breakfast and lunch, that way you won’t miss your hotel meals. Because of the short duration of the tour, this excursion is the favorite for parents with young children.

Avoid the long access queues to the park that you may encounter if you come on your own, and visit Timanfaya comfortably, accompanied by an official guide and in a modern bus that will pick you up at your hotel or close to it.

Visit the Park’s Volcano Route on that same excursion bus. If you visited the park on your own, you’d have to queue to catch the Park bus to visit the Volcano route, since you’re not allowed to do so in your own vehicle.

And if you’re interested in the camel riding experience, don’t worry, we’ll also stop in that area of ​​the park so you can do it.

The Timanfaya tour actually starts with our first stop in the park, in an area known as the Hilario islet, where we’ll enjoy some magnificent views of this impressive volcanic landscape.

From here, we’ll also be able to see around 25 volcanoes, all of them active, located around the Park’s more than 50 square kilometers. It’s hard to believe that the park as we see it today is the result of the volcanic processes that took place between 1730 and 1736 and later in 1824, which is when the last eruptions happened.

And so you can verify the latent volcanic activity for yourself, and notice that a few meters down the temperature exceeds 600 degrees Celsius in the area, we’ll propose three experiments.

In the first one, you’ll be able to touch some hot stones which we’ll pick a few centimeters from the surface. In the second, you’ll see how tinder catches fire when we put it in a one-meter-deep hole.

In the third experiment we’ll see how a geyser forms when we introduce water into 10-meters-deep tubes, which will then ascend within a few seconds at high very speeds.

Close to the experiment area, we’ll find the Mirador del Diablo restaurant, designed by the brilliant César Manrique. Here we’ll also be able to see meats and other foods being roasted on its huge barbecue, which takes advantage of the heat that emanates from its 7 meters depth.

During our visit to the Park, we’ll travel, in our own bus, through the Volcano Route. In this 14 km route, we’ll see craters, lava rivers, capriciously shaped rocks and other compositions made with amazing natural colors up close, as these are all part of this place’s landscape, known as the Mountains of Fire.

Before leaving Timanfaya Park, we’ll make one last stop for a 20-minute camel ride. Camel riding is optional and costs around 11 eurosWe hope that, by the end of this excursion to Timanfaya, and upon returning to your accommodation, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve just been in a magical and unique place, and we also hope that this will be a place you’ll remember fondly when you reminisce about your holidays in Lanzarote.
