In addition to the diverse beaches, Lanzarote is home to Timanfaya National Park – a barren terrain that was created during the 18th century when dozens of volcanoes formed the part of the island. The last eruption occurred in 1824, however, activity remains, as evidenced by the surface’s extremely high temperatures. The rare plant species and moon-like terrain are a must-see during holidays to Lanzarote. To the north of the island is another impressive volcanic-formed landscape, yet this one lies beneath the ground. The Cueva de los Verdes (Green Caves) span nearly 6km.
