He saw the beauty of his island and wanted to preserve it for future generations.

Along the route there are informative signs (in several languages) explaining the history and geology of the crater. This walk is one of the best free things to do in Lanzarote for families – kids will love running around inside the crater! How amazing is the volcanic scenery at Caldera de Los Cuervos?

TiasPuerto del Carmen • Tahiche • Arrieta • Jameos del Água • Cueva de los Verdes • Órzola • Mirador del Río • Haría • The last eruption was in 1824, so don’t fear about activity while you’re there! The bus tour is amazing as you pass through skinny cavernous like areas, see right inside craters, take in views of desert dunes and endless landscapes of lava fields. As a little tip, I’d recommend sitting on the right side of the bus. This side offers better views on the whole, although you might see more of the craters from the left side. You’ll see geysers in Timanfaya National Park The island’s capital Arrecife is a bustling and busy town, with a Marina, a fabulous sandy beach and the famous Charco San Ginés, with dozens of places to eat and drink. There are several excellent hotels in the capital which are superb value for money.
