What to expect

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 El Golfo lagoon. Daria says of her favourite stop, ‘Wrapped in a crater of colourful basalt rocks, El Golfo is a place of such stunning scenery, it's used as a setting for hit Hollywood films.' Next up is 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 and discover how this important industry makes a difference in the community.

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 tour was excellent. The guide never stopped and kept us all well informed. He even came looking for us when we went for a coffee at the caves. He didn’t want us to miss out on the Kings pool and the theatre in the cave. The tour itself was amazing to see so much of the volcanic area.

    Assumed the winery tour would involve being told more about the growing and production of the wine before the tasting. Rather than just arriving, being given a taster of wine and then a quick browse in the shop and then back on the coach. Lago Verde was a bit disappointing. Lunch was pleasant and filling. Would of been nice to spend a bit more time at the top of Timanfaya before the drive around the National Park.

    The grand tour of Lanzarote was absolutely a fantastic experience. German guide, Sina, was friendly, professional, and clear. She presented all of the details about the Lanzarote and its landmarks in a comprehensive and time-oriented manner. I highly recommend this tour as it shows all of the major parts of Lanzarote island. ???

Nat Geo Day Tour: La Geria, viñedos que brotaron del fuego

Cuando en 1736 cesaron los seis largos años de erupciones del Timanfaya, los agricultores de La Geria creyeron que sus fértiles tierras se habían perdido para siempre bajo una gruesa capa de ceniza. Pero las familias locales necesitaban hacer que la tierra volviera a ser productiva y, a base de trabajo duro y determinación, consiguieron crear los viñedos de La Geria. Empezarás con un paseo panorámico, recorriendo senderos a través de viñedos privados pertenecientes a la bodega familiar de Nacho Romero, abiertos en exclusiva para los visitantes de National Geographic. Mientras te empapas del carácter excepcional de estos paisajes en los que los viñedos están rodeados de volcanes, el propietario te explicará cómo la capa de ceniza volcánica, conocida localmente como «picón», ha moldeado sus métodos de cultivo, únicos en el mundo. Si tienes la suerte de encontrarlas maduras, incluso podrás recoger uvas directamente de la vid mientras Nacho o su mujer, Luisa, ambos enólogos, te habla de las peculiares características del vino volcánico. Ya de vuelta tras el paseo, podrás probar uno de los vinos artesanales que Nacho y Luisa elaboran en su bodega casera. A continuación, te dirigirás a la bodega La Geria, otro elemento importante del movimiento para la elaboración de vinos ecológicos. El enólogo en persona te mostrará la bodega. Descubrirás los secretos de los «zocos» que protegen las viñas del viento y las distintas variedades de uva que prosperan en el terruño volcánico de Lanzarote. Para terminar, catarás uno de los vinos populares de la finca, acompañado con queso local y galletas saladas.

Nat Geo Day Tour: La belleza volcánica de Lanzarote, un recorrido fotográfico

En esta excursión, te convertirás en un narrador visual bajo la dirección de un guía fotógrafo formado por National Geographic. Conseguirás una información valiosísima sobre cómo conseguir la instantánea perfecta, ya sea en términos de composición, de iluminación o de narrativa. Tras presentar la parte competitiva del día, el guía te acompañará al Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. Durante la visita, conseguirás buenas vistas de los paisajes lunares de Timanfaya, que se formaron hace cientos de años, cuando una serie de erupciones volcánicas cubrieron de lava una cuarta parte de la isla. Hay campos de lava escarpados, conos volcánicos inquietantes y franjas de ceniza gris carbón. También harás una parada en el mirador del Islote de Hilario para apreciar la fuerza de la energía geotérmica y disfrutar de las vistas. Si te desplazas hasta el pueblo pesquero de El Golfo, encontrarás un revoltijo de edificios tradicionales y llamativas embarcaciones que contrastan con la playa de arena negra y el insólito lago verde. Es un lugar perfecto para inmortalizar contrastes de color. Después, llegará la hora de descubrir las antiguas salinas de Janubio, otro paisaje saturado de dramatismo y descarnado atractivo. Esta zona está declarada Reserva de la Biosfera por la Unesco y es un importante santuario de aves, así que prepara la cámara. Con un experto en fotografía a tu lado, adquirirás nuevas habilidades y nueva inspiración, además de una colección de imágenes fascinantes. Al final del día, en la terraza de las salinas de Janubio, podrás relajarte con una copa de vino o una cerveza y algo de picar, mientras el guía revisa las fotos del día y elige la mejor.
