Today the park is a national treasure and a jewel in the crown of Lanzarote attractions. The park itself includes the lunar route, a coach tour through the park, Geyser and Fire demonstrations and the El Diablo where your food is cooked on a grill powered by the heat of the volcano. It's not surprise that the Timanfaya Park is one of the best selling trips in Lanzarote.
