Internship Lanzarote – on the islands of volcanoes
General information
The small Canary archipelago, known as the “island of volcanoes”, is particularly impressive because of its moon-like crater landscape and its natural beaches. The influence of César Manrique, who shaped the image of Lanzarote through his works and monuments, can be seen throughout the island.

Island tour in the north by car
For a northern tour of the island, it’s best to start in Teguise, a picturesque place that is also the former capital of the island. The path leads northeast past the cactus fields of Guatiza, which are reminiscent of an amphitheater due to their terraced layout. You can’t miss these fields – a huge metal cactus shows you the way. The small church, which has black volcanic stone at the corners, is also worth a photo.
The journey continues, past the small Mala, which has been spared from tourism, to the spectacular lava grotto Jameo del Agua. In the grotto, which was created several thousand years ago by the solidification of lava masses, there is a restaurant from which you can look out onto an underground lake. Anyone interested in geology and volcanoes should also take a look at the museum.
The next stop is called Haria and is also known for its “Valley of a Thousand Palms”. According to legend, a palm tree grew for every girl born in Haria. The townscape is characterized by cube-shaped white houses and the laurel and eucalyptus trees in the Plaza León y Castillo.
The “Mirador del Rio” viewpoint in the far north of Lanzarote is particularly worth seeing. The 475 m high viewpoint with a café and a souvenir shop offers spectacular views of the cliffs, the neighboring islands and the town of Haria.
Island tour in the south by car
If you would rather explore the south of the island during your internship on Lanzarote, you can marvel at the Fire Mountains (Montañas del Fuego) from the back of a camel or explore the Timanfaya National Park. This is one of the main attractions in Lanzarote.
Between the years 1730 and 1736 the mountains of fire were active and spewed smoke and lava. As a result, many parts of the country became barren and entire villages were buried under the lava masses. The Timanfaya National Park is therefore also called the “ghostly lunar landscape”. It’s best to plan around three hours for a complete tour of the park.
Another highlight of the island of Lanzarote is the town of Yaiza, located at the foot of the Fire Mountains. It is said that the place is particularly typical of the island and has received the award as the most beautiful community on Lanzarote several times. The well-kept landscape and townscape and the traditional architecture of the city make the visit a special experience. Worth seeing here are the Jardínes de la Era, the 18th century church of Los Remedios and the village square.

Aquarium Lanzarote
Lanzarote is home to the largest aquarium in the Canary Islands. In Costa Teguise you can look at hundreds of marine animals in 33 aquariums. The special thing about the recreated underwater world is that there are many typical Canarian species such as tiger fish, sea bream and damselfish to marvel at, but at the same time the diversity of the sea is preserved with clownfish, fire dragons, puffer fish and hermit crabs.
The predators of the sea can also be observed in the underwater tunnel and in the large central basin. The Lanzarote Aquarium is home to a number of different shark species. For those of you looking for an adrenaline rush, dives into the shark tank are available. Another attraction is the petting pool, where children and adults can touch starfish and sea cucumbers, among other things.
