Excursions

Lanzarote

The neighbouring island of Lanzarote can be reached by ferry from Corralejo in around 40 minutes. It is well worth the trip.
The Montañas del Fuego (Fire Mountains), the heart of Lanzarote, are like a moonscape. Many science fiction films have been shot here.
There are more than 100 volcanoes on approx. 50 square kilometres, they arose during the great eruptions 1730-36.

In 1968, the region was declared a national park, the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. There is a team of camels to take visitors on an excursion into the world of the volcanoes.

Lobos

The volcanic island of Lobos, only approx. 6 square kilometres in area, lies off the north-eastern coast of Fuerteventura. A day trip from the harbour of Corralejo is particularly worthwhile for walkers and nature lovers. You can walk right round the island in around 2-3 hours. From the old lighthouse on the island's northern tip, you will have a beautiful view of the bays around the Punta de Papagayo of Lanzarote
