Description
In this tour you will discover the authentic island and its wilderness. You will spend the first 2 days walking the northen cliffs of Famara ridge, where in some points the walls fall from 600 meters to the sea.
Despite Lanzarote being a piece of the Sahara desert in the middle of the Atlantic, you will be surprised by the green valleys of Haria and its thousand palm trees. The end of your walk will be in the lovely fishermen village of Orzola, where you will take a 20 minutes boat to the unique island of la Graciosa, where you will forget the rest of the planet for 2 nights.You can discover la Graciosa, walking or renting a bike and cycling this jewel of the nature, with some of the most beautiful beaches of the world.
After returning to Lanzarote you will continue discovering the island on a trekking bike, one of the best ways to see this magic territory. During the next 3 days you will have the opportunity to visit the most beautiful villages of Punta Mujeres, Arrieta, Guatiza, Teguise the former capital of the island, Uga, Yaiza…all cosy, clean and traditional.
Nature became crazy in Lanzarote and gave to the island all kind of rough volcanic landscapes, a mixture of impossible colours….black of the lava, mixed with the white sands of the beaches and the green of the wines in the valley of la Geria, where men have cooperated with the volcanoes to create a moon landscape where produce one of the best white wines of Spain. It’s difficult to describe how many landscapes and things to do and see in so small an island.
You will swim in the blue waters of la Graciosa, Caleta de Famara, Arrieta, Puerto del Carmen….having the opportunity to play with the waves or just lay on the sand and
sunbathing. This ocean provides us fantastic sea food to enjoy with a good white wine of Lanzarote.
