Guided trip
It is one of the wildest island of the Canaries, where surfers' beaches meet old volcanoes and natural parks. 🌋​ Lanzarote amazes for its beauty and its immeasurable charm that have always made it one of the favorite destinations for those who love to surround themselves with a unique and timeless landscape📸​ Hey 👋, I'm Giulio. I'm a landscape photographer and i biologist, I love nature and exploring new places with my camera 📸 Join me in this trip to see the best side of this amazing island. Lanzarote is located only a hundred kilometers from the coast of Morocco🇲🇦​ Bathed by the Atlantic, the island is politically Spanish but geographically North African, so you just need your ID with you🌎​Also known as Isla del Fuego (island of fire) Lanzarote is covered almost entirely with solidified lava, which, depending on the sunlight, takes on various colors: from black to pink, from purple to ocher and this is why it's perfect for our landscape workshop. The protection of the environment, its unspoiled nature, the feeling of being in a primitive environment. It is no coincidence that it was declared a "World Biosphere Reserve" by Unesco. Are you willing to enter photography world? this workshop is for you, we will discuss techniques and some tips for starting your new passion. Are you already an experienced photographer? Join us to see the best spots on the island. Included in the price: - 7 nights accomodation (each person a single room, look in the trip section the photos of the house) - workshop fee (since I put lots of work for the organization 😝) - Private driver and car (me 😎 and rented car🚘​.) - Fuel is inclued⛽️ - It's a chance to see non-touristy hidden gems💎​ - Trasport from/to the airport it's included (always me😎) Excluded in the price: - Flight tickets ( I chose Monday/Monday cause are cheaper) - Personal expenses (Food and drinks, souvenirs, tickets for museums, travel and equipment insurance, visa fees, etc.) - For common expenses, we will use SplitWise, an app that would allow us to track our shared expenses. - Boat ticket for La Graciosa, eventual bike, an eventual ticket for a guided tour in Timanfaya national park or other attractions. - If we decide to surf the lesson it's not included. Accommodation: - We will be in a typical patio Canario in the center of San Bartolomé, a small town in the middle of the island. It's a perfect starting point for every spot. - There are 5 double rooms, every person is going to have one entire room. Travel Information ✈️: - Arrival & Departure Airport: Lanzarote airport (ACE) - I'm taking care of your transportation from/to the airport🤗​ Weather | Sun 🌞: The daily highs stop around 22 ° C, while the daily lows fall down to 14 °C/12°C.

El Golfo Lanzarote

Day 2-3
The second day after breakfast we can go and visit a local town or just go in at the beach and then in early afternoon go in the southern part of the island near El golfo, where is situated this awesome green lake. This place is awesome for landscape photography and also for portraiture. the contrast between red rocks and black is magical. Near here there is another green lake and going there we will do an awesome road that pass in La Geria.

Graciosa

Day 3-4
Third day we are going to visit La graciosa, a beautiful and small island in the north of Lanzarote, it is possible to reach by boat, the price is not included, but it's really worth it. The visit will last all day and we will do a hike around the island.
4

Famara Beach

Day 4-5
What about a surfing morning in the fourth day? Famara beach is one of my favourite beaches of all the canaries and surfing there is a dream come true. There is also a really good hike there, we can choose what we prefer all together, then the sunset is awesome there.
5

Mirador del Rio

Day 5-6
We saw La Graciosa and we also want to see this small island from mirador del Rio, one of the most beautiful landscapes of Lanzarote. during the day we will visit the north of the island, that is totally different from the south. Then, as we're in the north, we can have our night photography session, that's depend on the weather
6

Centro de visitantes e interpretación del Timanfaya

Day 6-7
Timanfaya National park is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the canary islands. If you never seen Volcanos this definitely will surprise you. Sunset from the Red Volcano is an idea! there is also a guided tour of the park.
7

Lanzarote Airport (ACE)

Day 7-8
the last day we'll organize it depending on your flights! it could be a good sunrise before leaving the island or could be a recap of all the things that we learned or just chilling. I want to precise that all the plan now is just a good example, in the next days i will define everything so much better calculating sunset light and stars precisely.
