Description

We propose you, a trip back in time to the volcanic heart of Lanzarote with us: the "National Park of Timanfaya" and in the meantime, taste the best wines of Lanzarote in "La Geria". Volcanoes live on stage! We start our trip towards Timanfaya National Park, including the "Route of the Volcanoes". What today has become a symbol of Lanzarote, its volcanic nature full of striking contrasts. Our excursion goes into the heart of the "Timanfaya National Park" making the "Route of the Volcanoes" in which we see different types of craters combined with vivid multicolours that reflects the origin of the eruption, the materials that it emitted or even the Intensity with which it exploded. We will check the trace of these eruptions that happened almost 300 years ago, when performing geothermal demonstrations, that is, we will check the heat that still emanates from the earth in different ways, all very spectacular. In another place of the "National Park of Timanfaya", we have the chance to do something that amuses both children and adults: "the camel ride" (* Optional). Once we leave behind the National Park, the road takes us to the area known as "La Geria", a peculiar wine area and where a very typical variety of Lanzarote abounds, the "Malvasía" a landscape so unique, that will stay in our minds. The vines are planted in cones formed in the lapilli, called on the Canaries "picón", and protected by small walls of dry stone. Also, fruit trees, like fig trees, are planted in the same way. This form of cultivation allows plants to roast more easily into fertile soil, and the top layer of picón reduces the loss of water by evaporation. A landscape made up of thousands of holes and crescent shaped walls that further protect crops from the wind. Our remembrances will be more complete if we don´t limit ourselves to just seeing, but also to try, enjoy, and taste the rich wines that a soil as extreme as that of Lanzarote has the honour of producing. Obviously, we are going to pay a visit to a winery and tasted the wine.
