9 Geologic Formations in Lanzarote That You Shouldn't Miss
Ahhh, Lanzarote: The Canary Island paradise where you can ride a camel into the sunset and then dine inside a candlelit cave. The rock formations of Los Hervideros will take your breath away, as will the views from the Mirador del Rio lookout point. Legend has it that locals would hide from pirates in the underground caverns of Cueva de los Verdes, which are now open to curious visitors. Above ground the Jardin de Cactus will teach you all about the spiny desert plants.

An awe-inspiring stretch of volcanic wasteland: a desolate and bleak monument to the power of Mother Nature.

Timanfaya National Park is the most popular attraction on Lanzarote and for good reasons. A beautiful, wild and rugged landscape that has lava fields, volcanic activities and craters that can be scaled by hikers and walkers who are prepared to go a little further than the the bus tour. An entry fee to the park and the 'official gate' will get you a bus tour (approximately 45 mins) or you can book in advance for a guided walk. Both these methods suit most people. That said, if you want to walk without a guide a good place would be parking at Caldera Blanco and walking into the lava fields from there. Totally free. This can take you to several points in the park. I climbed Caldera Blanco. The parking area is on 'maps'. You can also park in the village of Tianjo. My route took about 3 and a half hours. Circumnavigate top of caldera then back.

One can cover Green lagoon, El Golfo, Los Hervideros & Salinas (all within 5kms) free attractions with free car park. Los Hervideros: Go at the sunset(preferably at high tide) and see giant waves crashing against the rocks. You will be awestruck with the two caves and awesum photos Green lagoon: 5mins walk from the free car park to see this natural wonder, just few mtrs away from the ocean you can found this green lagoon. Green due to algae growth which gives the color, its a ecological spot so one cannot go actually to the lake, you need to see/take snaps from the hill top. I particularly found the rugged mountain in the background quote attractive in different hues of yellow, brown etc.. El Golfo: Beautiful spot for the best sun set in the Lanzarote Salinas: Some 3 kms from Los Hervideros, one can found Salinas with a green lagoon in the background. Good for children to see how to make salt. In all, 4 awesome attractions free of cost @ Lanzarote

A great spot for a visit, apart from the Green lake attraction well worth a walk around the village and onto the shore....superb place that just felt all natural! Plenty of parking and restaurants to relax and stay a while to enjoy the noise and smells of the sea! c

We parked the car in front of the church in nearby Ye; facing away from the church, we turned right and we followed the road and then took the path to our right shortly after the waste container. We walked along the dirt path and we hiked to the top. It takes about 30 mins to get to the crater. A must experience to do in Lanzarote and one of the highlights of our trip!

The volcanic scenery in Lanzarote is amazing and a must do is the bus tour of the major area of activity. The restaurant overlooks the valley and the cooks grill is over natural heat from the volcano!

This place is amazing. Tricky to get to but worth the effort. Pools are amazing for a swim, loads of life in them. Checking the tides before going and a decent pair of shoes are essential.
