Salinas de Janubio
Lanzarote tour with Timanfaya National Park and Jameos del Agua
This grand tour of Lanzarote leaves no stone unturned. âYou'll unearth the secrets of this volcanic island through the eyes of someone who has made it their home,' says Daria, one of our expert guides. Discover the island's spectacular green north and the volcanic south, visiting Timanfaya National Park, Jameos del Agua caves and a winery along the way.The fun starts with a trip to the subterranean salt lake at Jameos del Agua. This ancient volcanic cavern was converted into a bar and concert space by local architectural legend, Cesar Manrique. After lunch, you'll get to find out how grapes are grown at a volcanic soil winery. You'll sample one-of-a-kind local wines from La Geria, a unique wine-growing region created after the Timanfaya volcanic eruptions 300 years ago. Next up is the Salinas de Janubio salt flats where traditional methods are still in use. Seawater enters shallow basins, evaporates under the sun, and workers harvest the salt manually. These salt flats are a haven for migratory and coastal bird species.Thanks to its otherworldly natural landscape, Lanzarote was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1993. And the star of the show here is undoubtedly Timanfaya National Park. Follow the famous Lunar Route and explore lava fields, volcano craters and steaming geysers as you learn about why the whole island has achieved this special UNESCO-listed status. Then, experience it up close as you feel the heat beneath your feet and witness brushwood burn into flames.

The inside story
Spread along Lanzaroteâs rugged southwest coast, Salinas de Janubio is the islandâs largest and most important salt flat. Framed by volcanic landscapes and the Atlantic Ocean, its geometric pools create a striking patchwork of colours that shifts throughout the day, from bright whites to soft pinks and shimmering blues. Once a vital part of Lanzaroteâs economy, the salt pans remain a symbol of the islandâs long relationship with the sea.
As you explore, you can learn how salt has been harvested here for generations using traditional methods that are still practised today. Walking paths and viewpoints offer sweeping views across the salt flats, while nearby coastal trails reveal dramatic volcanic scenery and crashing Atlantic waves. Janubio salt is still prized by local chefs and is used in many traditional Canarian dishes.
