Walking holidays in Lanzarote
As the sun begins to cast its golden hues upon the rugged landscapes of Lanzarote, a haven for walking holidays, nature’s invitation to explore becomes impossible to resist. This volcanic island, adorned with breathtaking beauty, whispers tales of adventure and serenity to all who step upon its sacred paths.
Embarking on walking holidays in Lanzarote is akin to wandering through a living canvas painted by Mother Nature herself. With each step, the island unveils a mesmerizing tapestry of contrasting colors, where vibrant wildflowers dance in harmony with the blackened lava fields. A symphony of scents fills the air, as the salty breeze from the ocean mingles with the earthy aromas of cacti and succulents, creating an olfactory symphony that awakens the senses.
Walking holidays in Lanzarote offer a blissful escape from the clamor of modern life, immersing travelers in a world where time slows down. The island’s diverse terrain caters to all levels of adventurers, from leisurely strolls along the sandy shores to challenging hikes up volcanic peaks. Crater-filled landscapes and ancient lava tubes tell stories of the island’s fiery past, while hidden coastal paths lead to secluded coves where azure waters caress the shore.
Exploring Lanzarote on foot is a sensory feast, where the taste of adventure lingers on the lips and the touch of nature’s elements leaves an indelible mark upon the soul. The island’s enchantment unravels at every turn, revealing hidden gems like quaint fishing villages, vineyards nestled amidst the volcanic soil, and picturesque viewpoints that offer panoramic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean stretching beyond the horizon.
Walking holidays in Lanzarote beckon the weary traveler to step away from the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary. With every stride, the island’s untamed beauty captivates, creating a symphony of sights, sounds, and sensations that etch a cherished memory in the hearts of all who venture here. So let your feet carry you across Lanzarote’s mesmerizing landscapes, for it is through walking that the soul finds solace and the spirit of this volcanic paradise truly comes alive.
The ascent route to the crater of Caldera Blanca is located very close to the Timanfaya National Park. It is the crater of a volcano that resulted from a single eruption. Its perfect crater has a diameter of 1.2 kilometres and the panorama that opens up when you reach its summit cannot be described in words. From the village of Mancha Blanca, before arriving to Timanfaya, the path starts next to the road through some badlands until you reach the base of the volcano.
]
After a continued ascent and reaching the edge of the crater, a huge mantle of volcanic slag and recent craters extends to the south. It is Timanfaya, the Montañas de Fuego National Park. And to the north, the small rural villages of Lanzarote colour the landscape until you reach the cliffs of Famara. After the route, there is still room for a visit to the National Park.

Day 3
Femés - Pico de la Aceituna - Playa del Pozo
The mountain range of Los Ajaches, in the south of Lanzarote, was the throne of the aborigines. Today the village of Femés, with its farming and peasant tradition, is located in the upper part of the mountain range. Femés is a perfect vantage point with views to the south. The islands of Lobos and Fuerteventura are within its visual range , as well as the Papagayo Natural Park, in the south of Lanzarote. The route starts with an ascent to the Pico de La Aceituna, whose summit is 450 metres above the sea.
From there the path continues until it reaches the next peak: the Pico Redondo at 555 metres above sea level. After enjoying magnificent views towards the east and south coast of the island, you start a continuous descent through the ravine, with impressive views over the Playa de la Arena. And when you reach Playa Quemada, a humble fishing enclave in the south of Lanzarote, you can enjoy a swim in the sea before returning to the hotel.

Day 4
The Volcanoes of Soo
A circular route along the line of volcanoes of Soo, a small rural municipality in the northwest of Lanzarote.
From the village of Soo itself, the path ascends towards the Pico Colorado (206m) located behind the village.
The Caldera Trasera can be seen in our ascent between the reservoirs that collect the run-off water. The top of the Montaña de Soo, a huge Caldera of almost 300 metres high, offers extraordinary panoramic views over the different volcanoes of the area.
]
Continuing then along the sea of Jable through cereal fields and sweet potatoes, we will arrive to the Montaña Chica (116m). Here we find a scenery made up of the remains of old buildings and a drinking trough for livestock, no longer being used.
The islands of La Graciosa, Alegranza and Montaña Clara are outlined in the background next to the imposing Risco de Famara on the way back to Soo.

Day 5
On the North Coast
The route starts directly at the Jardín de Cactus in Guatiza, a botanical paradise created by the Canarian artist Cesar Manrique. After crossing the village and reaching the church, the path goes towards the Caldera de la Montaña Tinamala (old fissure of the volcano) and runs along the coast, crossing the urbanization Los Cocoteros, reaching the Natural Swimming Pool Cueva del Agua and the nudist urbanization of Charco del Palo.
This is a route that offers several possibilities to take a bath, along the way. La Olla, a natural pool of 10 metres in diameter, is possibly the most pleasant spot to do so. Now the return path crosses abandoned farms with volcanic scoria and tuneras. A landscape full of contrasts in gentle ascent until you reach the Cactus Garden.

Day 6
Biking on La Graciosa
Today we are going to La Graciosa! But first you have to drive to the port of Orzola, where the catamaran "El Graciosero" will take you in just over 20 minutes to Caleta del Sebo, the capital of La Graciosa.
There awaits you our bicycle with which you can ride along the tracks and discover such spectacular enclaves as Pedro Barba, the spectacular Playa de Las Conchas in the north or the Playa Francesa in the south.
La Graciosa is a peaceful island of fishermen that lives away from the tourist frenzy of its neighbour Lanzarote. Its turquoise waters and the beautiful beaches of white sand invite to enjoy the sea. The absence of traffic offers an unusual opportunity to cycle along its tracks in a slow and safe way.
And in the late afternoon "El Graciosero" will take you back to Orzola to return to your hotel in Lanzarote.

Day 7
The Famara Cliffs
From the beautiful Villa de Haría the trail heads towards the Risco de Famara, a natural wall located in the northwest corner of the island of Lanzarote. From the top of the majestic cliff we will enjoy splendid views towards the small island of La Graciosa.
The path runs southwards along the edge of the cliff with a spectacular panoramic view towards the Beach of Famara. And on the way back towards the Valley of the Thousand Palm Trees, we are accompanied by a splendid view of the Volcano de La Corona. At the end of this first route in Lanzarote, the house-museum of the artist Cesar Manrique in Haría is a must-see. There he lived and painted in peace with his land during the last years of his life.
