1. One of the World’s Longest Volcanic Tubes

Lanzarote is home to the Atlantis Tunnel, one of the largest volcanic tubes on the planet, located in the north of the island.
This impressive lava tunnel, formed thousands of years ago after the eruption of the Corona Volcano, is almost 7 kilometres long.
One of its most fascinating sections, approximately 1.5 kilometers, is submerged underwater, making it the longest underwater tube in the world.

In this tunnel are two of the most emblematic places in Lanzarote: the Cueva de los Verdes, famous for its amazing rock formations, and the Jameos del Agua, an art and culture centre created by the artist César Manrique, which combines volcanic nature with human artistic intervention.

2. Volcanic Vineyards

One of the most characteristic images of Lanzarote is its volcanic vineyards in La Geria.
Here, the Malvasia Volcánica grape is grown in craters and holes dug into the volcanic earth.
This agricultural technique takes advantage of the properties of volcanic ash to maintain soil moisture, creating a unique landscape with contrasts between the black of the volcanic earth and the green of the vines.

Visitors can enjoy guided tours to explore this unique landscape and finish with a visit to one of the local wineries, where they can taste the wine produced from these grapes, known for its distinctive flavor.

3. A Green Lagoon

The Charco de los Clicos, also known as the Green Lake, is another of Lanzarote’s natural wonders.
This deep green lagoon is located in the ancient crater of a volcano, near Los Hervideros, in the south of the island.
The characteristic color of the water is due to the presence of sulfur and specific algae that grow in the lagoon.

This phenomenon creates a striking visual contrast, with the black of the volcanic sand, the red of the surrounding land and the blue of the nearby Atlantic Ocean, making the Charco de los Clicos a popular place for photography.

4. Boil the Sea

Los Hervideros are spectacular cliffs formed by the interaction of lava and the ocean during the eruption of the Timanfaya volcano.
These rock formations and underwater caves create an impressive natural phenomenon: when the waves of the sea sneak between the holes in the rocks, the water rises in columns and produces steam, giving the impression that the sea is “boiling”.

This natural phenomenon is what gives this site its name, a visual spectacle that can be observed on the west coast of the Timanfaya National Park.

5. An Underwater Museum

In Playa Blanca, one of the most touristic areas of Lanzarote, you will find the Atlantic Museum, the first and only underwater museum in Europe.
Located about 12-15 meters deep, this museum houses the works of artist Jason DeCaires Taylor.
His sculptures of human figures, which can be seen while scuba diving, offer a unique experience of art and nature merging in a marine environment.

The Atlantic Museum is not only a visual spectacle for divers, but also a marine conservation project, as the sculptures serve as artificial reefs, promoting biodiversity in the area.
