A Land of Fire
Have you ever been in Mars? Would you like to discover a place full of volcanoes named “Land of Fire” in an island with true charm and closer than you would imagine?
If you are attracted to the idea then the only thing you have to do is get to the marvelous island of Lanzarote. There you will find really incredible surroundings inside the Timanfaya National Park.
It is located southeast of the island, in the municipality of Yaiza, and we find there a surface that leaves you speechless. As you walk towards the park, you discover how the earth becomes blacker and redder, in a land of porous rocks, where nobody would be capable of walking.
Once in the park, after paying the entrance fee, you go by car to the park’s installations where you can enjoy a bus tour around the park, seeing the more than 20 volcanoes that are there.
A recording will narrate everything you need to know about the formation of volcanoes, the recent activities and why the formations are produced, etc.
It is advisable to enjoy this tour in order to get to know a bit more about this land of volcanoes. Afterwards you will be able to enter an area with volcanic activity, where they show you the temperature of the ground through small wells. By placing some water in them you will see how the water goes up more than 10 meters above the ground due to the temperature underneath. You will also be able to see small excavations where hay lights up when in contact with the earth or you will be able to enjoy a natural barbecue where you can grill all kinds of foods with the heat of the depths.
Without a doubt, Lanzarote, with its Timanfaya National Park, is one of the jewels of Canary Islands, that shouldn’t be missed.
