Lanzarote is the most surprising island of the Canary archipelago. Volcanoes and the sea have brought out landscapes where colours and warmth from the recent but extinct eruptions are still kept.
The climate allows hiking in the countryside the whole year round. It really invites you to discover craters and lava fields, the coast, creeks and beaches, crops on volcanic ash, etc.
Olita Treks offers you, in 8 days, the possibility to know and understand the island with a experimented guide. You can discover landscapes and lonely places enjoying at the same time the beaches, towns and local cuisine. You will benefit, definitively, of a unique way of doing tourism scrolling the island with your family or friends.
Moreover you can stay in a nice accommodation close to the sea. Included in the program you will spend a day in the lovely tiny island of La Graciosa and you will also discover the never ending beaches and barren gulleys of Fuerteventura.
