Explore two of the stunning Canary Islands that sit right next to each other, yet each is completely unique. You'll visit spots that feel like they're from another planet and be surrounded by the beautiful scenery of these volcanic islands every single day. You'll also spend time on wild, exotic-looking beaches, and those views will definitely stay with you for a long time. So, let's go!
After landing, pick up your car, check into your accommodation, unpack, and relax after the trip.
If you have some extra time and energy, I recommend visiting the city of Arrecife. Take a walk through the beautiful streets along the coast and explore the Castillo de San Gabriel fortress.
Arrecife is the capital city of Lanzarote and its name means reef. The name was derived from the black reefs that line its coast. A walk through the narrow streets by the coast is definitely worth mentioning.
The fortress was built in the 16th century and served as a defense against pirates.
Start with a walk through the center of the historic town of Teguise, located in the middle of the island. After visiting the town, head southwest, and your next stop will be literally by the road: the Ciudad Estratificada (Stratified City), which will be your first encounter with formations created by volcanic activity. You will visit the caves of Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes. Afterwards, enjoy the views of the neighboring island of La Graciosa from the Mirador del Río viewpoint, and at the end of the day, you can refresh yourself in the natural sea pool of Punta Mujeres.
A historic town in the heart of the island with a beautiful square and quiet streets. Every Sunday, the town hosts markets full of handmade products, souvenirs, food, treats, and everything else imaginable. They are definitely worth a visit.
These are geological formations that originated at the site of an old volcanic quarry, shaped over time by the wind, water, and sun. They are rock formations with unique shapes and a perfect spot for creative photos. You can park by the structures on the dirt road.
One of the island's main attractions. A cave complex formed by volcanic activity, where underground tunnels and water create small pools. Part of this site was transformed by the famous local architect César Manrique, naturally with respect for nature. In one of the lakes, you can find tiny and unique crabs - the blind albino crab, the only one of its kind. They are very small, and the fact that they are albino certainly doesn't make them easier to spot, so were you able to find them? 😃
Amazing cave tunnels formed by lava flows. A beautiful colorful spectacle created by rocks and lava awaits you here, as well as ponds that create optical illusions.
From this viewpoint, in perfect conditions, you can see the neighboring island of La Graciosa. The lookout has its own parking lot, or you can park on the dirt shoulder.
After a day full of discovery and experiences, you can stop by the village of Punta Mujeres on your way back and take a dip in a natural pool, which has easy access and a breakwater.
Today is going to be a real treat for the eyes. You'll visit Playa de Famara, surrounded by massive rocky cliffs. This view will definitely touch your heart. After your visit, you'll head to Timanfaya National Park. Get ready for otherworldly scenery and a truly powerful experience.
This beach combines beauty with wildness and will definitely capture your heart. I highly recommend timing your visit for low tide, when the small amount of remaining water creates a mirror effect—photography lovers will definitely enjoy that.
An absolute gem of this island. You'll feel like you're on another planet in the park, and the scenery all around you will be unreal. The park visit is done by bus, but the only thing it affects is the quality of your photos; it certainly doesn't take away from the experience. You can taste dishes prepared on a grill built directly over a volcanic vent in the local restaurant. The area has its own parking lot, and the road will lead you right to it.
A day full of colors, scenery, and contrasts—hope your cameras are charged up 😉 First, you'll visit the Las Grietas canyons, then head to the wine village of La Geria, and finally, make your way to the southwest of the island. Enjoy the views of the small village of El Golfo perched above the cliffs, and on the other side, the unique Charco de los Clicos lake, where you won't believe how many sharp colors are packed into one cove. You'll end the day relaxing on a beautiful beach with turquoise water.
These are other formations created by volcanic activity, wind, and rain. This stop is more or less just a quick photo spot.
La Geria is a wine village located in an area with black volcanic soil, which creates a beautiful contrast. Local winemakers have found a way to grow vines even in these conditions, and you can visit local wineries here and buy wine directly from the producers. You can park directly at one of the wineries.
A small village located by the cliffs. The same parking lot serves as the stop for the next location as well.
Charco de los Clicos or Charco Verde is a unique place. It is a protected nature reserve. Nature has created a real spectacle here, where in one view you can see the striking green color of the lake set against the black volcanic landscape, the beautiful blue of the ocean, and the surrounding red rocks.
Coastal area where solidified lava has formed cliffs and caves.
A beautiful beach in a bay with fine sand, turquoise water, and a gradual entrance definitely invites you to relax and swim. There is also a restaurant with a view on the cliff.
If you have some time left, you can use it to buy souvenirs, head to the airport to return your car, because today you'll be saying goodbye to the beautiful island of Lanzarote and flying to the island of Fuerteventura. After landing, you'll pick up another car, head to your accommodation, and relax. Adjust the day according to your flight.
Don't forget to be at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight. Drop off the (refueled) car and head to your gate.
Your first stop will be "Popcorn Beach," which has become a popular photo spot. People take all sorts of creative photos there, and some even bring their own popcorn buckets. There are no limits to your imagination, and you'll be truly surprised by how much the pebbles actually look like popcorn. Next, you'll head to a lighthouse that is still in operation and located right by the rocky ocean shore. After that, you'll set off to the village of Tefía, where you'll be captivated by the stunning scenery, and you'll end your day in a village that offers a glimpse into the original way of life of the islanders.
Between the town of Corralejo and Playa del Bajo de la Burra beach, you'll find small beaches covered in pebbles that look just like popcorn. They are actually pieces of coral shaped by the sea. It's a well-known photo spot on the island, but be careful—taking these pieces as souvenirs is strictly forbidden. You can park on the side of the dirt road.
A lighthouse in the north of the island in a bay with cliffs, which also houses a maritime museum.
A small village in the island's interior that attracts tourists mainly thanks to its well-preserved windmills and surrounding scenery.
A small village that captures the original and traditional way of life on this island. On both sides of the local beach, there are rocky formations that offer beautiful views and where you can also find caves. Just be careful during high tide and on the rocks, which can be slippery.
Start your morning with a light hike in a canyon known for its unique scenery. After the hike, head to a fishing village on the west coast, take a walk along the black sand beach, and naturally, refresh yourself after an active morning. The last stop of the day will be a lighthouse perched on a massive cliff, where you can soak in the views.
It is a remarkable gorge known for its scenery and oases. Along its route, you'll also find a chapel dedicated to the island's patron saint, as well as a dam. The route is not difficult and will take you about 2-3 hours round trip.
A fishing village famous for its black sand beach. There are also cave formations nearby with a marked trail that leads you to wild cliffs.
The lighthouse in the mountainous part of the island offers beautiful views of the cliffs.
Today you'll visit Cofete beach in the south of the island, which is about 12km long. The road there might be a bit of a challenge, but the scenery will blow you away. You definitely can't miss this stop.
A beach whose beauty takes your breath away and has even inspired famous directors. Famous movies such as Exodus: Gods and Kings or a Star Wars Story were filmed here. The road to the beach leads along an unpaved, winding path and can take up to an hour, but every minute is definitely worth it. It's worth walking along it too, where you'll get new views, and on the beach, you can find a spot where you'll be completely alone
Relax on the beach of Playa de Sotavento, which will seem endless to you. At low tide, shallow lagoons form here where you can lie back and enjoy some well-deserved rest.
One of the most breathtaking beaches on the island, featuring crystal-clear water and golden sand.
You've traveled through two Canary Islands, but today your journey comes to an end. It's time to pack up, buy those last souvenirs, and head to the airport. Have a safe flight home!
Don't forget to be at the airport at least 2-3 hours before your flight. Drop off the (refueled) car and head to your gate. Have a pleasant trip home.
These two volcanic islands hide a wealth of beauty, and thanks to that, you'll take home so many experiences and memories. Volcanoes, natural phenomena, wild beaches, stunning scenery and views, the turquoise ocean, sand in a variety of colors... You won't forget this.
