Lanzarote is an island of volcanic origin. It offers a stunning selection of volcanic landscapes including the mountain Peñas del Chache and the volcanic ‘Tunnel of Atlantis’. In the south west lies the Timanfaya National Park where some minor volcanic activity still occurs.

The island is home to 2 theme parks - Aqua Park in Costa Teguise and Theme Park in Puerto del Carmen. The island is also one of the best surfing locations in the world – between November and March waves can reach 4.5 metres in height.

A number of budget airlines now fly to Arrecife (ACE) Airport or locally known as Guacimeta. The majority of people arrive by charter flight, however British Airways and Excel Airways now offer scheduled services.
