I recently visited Costa Teguise in Lanzarote for a one week holiday in June 2015. Lanzarote has some interesting places for tourists and one of them is Timanfaya National Park, which is Lanzarote's volcano site. The volcano last erupted in the year 1824 and it became a national park in 1968. Read more...

Timanfaya is a volcanic area in Lanzarote. Many tourists visit here during their holidays just like I did. The trip starts in the morning and you are, usually, back at your hotel by 2 pm.

We traveled by coach to Timanfaya and the whole trip cost us 20 euros per person. There is a detailed commentary about the volcanic area and Lanzarote, which was very thorough and informative in my opinion.

The trip includes a stop to the volcanic area to watch short demonstrations about the volcano and its history. Lanzarote has quite a bit of breeze, so be prepared, because it is much chillier at Timanfaya National Park than anywhere else in Lanzarote.

There are a few more stops on this coach tour. The first one is a stop for some lunch at the El Diablo restaurant, (which you have to pay for yourself) and the second one is to see the camels. Two people can sit on a camel, which costs extra at 4 euros per person.
The last stop is visiting a wine tasting factory. The wine there is sweet and delicious. I bought a red bottle of wine for 10 euros whilst I was there. We drank the wine in the evening with our meal at the hotel and it was so tasty that I wished I had bought another bottle.

I thought the whole trip was very worthwhile and interesting. There will, also, be many photo opportunities, so make sure you have a camera with you because the coach driver will stop the vehicle so that everyone can take pictures. Some of the sites at Timanfaya are very unique and picturesque that you will definitely want to be there to see for yourself.

Hopefully, this blog will help others to decide on a holiday destination or a hotel they are thinking of staying in or even an excursion that you would like to book but would like more information on. Either way, my reviews will help you to decide.
