When you come to Lanzarote, the magnificent natural landscape and sustainably designed attractions will allow you to enjoy places of natural interest such as the Montañas del Fuego, with more than 50 square kilometers of amazing volcanic landscape.The Mirador del Río is a true spectacle for the eyes with its impressive views over the Chinijo Archipelago and the island of La Graciosa.

Lanzarote is full of idyllic and unique places in the world where the experience of those who visit it is unrepeatable. But in addition to these places that we have already mentioned in other posts, we recommend not leaving the island without enjoying the experience the island's centers designed by artist César Manrique with our tours.

What excursion do you recommend to see everything in Lanzarote?

Without a doubt, the most repeated question by our clients is this. The best option is something personal, since it depends above all on the time factor. It does not matter if you are one of those who rents your own vehicle or one of those who makes a private transfer to the accommodation from the Lanzarote airport. Whether you are of the option of renting a vehicle to move around the island and get to know the best corners at your own pace and in a private way, as if you are one of those who decides the transfer when you arrive on the island, it is through a private transfer with us, we recommend an excursion, since it is the best way to take advantage of the time, since in a same excursion you can visit several centers on the same day and also acquire the necessary knowledge of the sites visited.
