Lanzarote’s mild climate makes it a year-round walking destination. Follow trails through lava fields, desert and valleys on this holiday, and enjoy a guided walk through two famous national parks.

  • Hike in the heart of Ajaches
  • Walk through Timanfaya National Park
  • Cross the El Jable Desert

Explore Lanzarote’s trails and dramatic volcanic landscapes on this eight-day walking holiday. With an area of only 800 square kilometres, Lanzarote packs in a wealth of natural beauty and cultural richness for its size. The Ajaches and the Famara Cliffs are the oldest part of the island and boast a huge diversity of flora and fauna as well as stunning panoramic views. See beautiful canyons shaped by millions of years of erosion, and witness how life has re-emerged from the ashes in La Geria.
