Gran Karting Club Lanzarote
The Gran Karting Club Lanzarote is situated close to Puerto del Carmen at the junction of the LZ-2 and LZ-40 roads.
The track is open everyday from around 10:00am to 9:00pm in the evening, and they offer a free pick up
service from anywhere on the island for groups of a minimum of 6 people.
The lap distance of the senior track is 1,281 metres, during which the karts can reach a maximum
speed of 80km/h or 50mph.
For younger children aged 5 to 11 there is also a much slower 100m kiddies circuit,
and for teens aged 12 to 16 a 865m junior track.

Jameos del Agua
The Jameos del Agua are part of the same 6Km long lava tube that
include the Cuevas de Los Verdes.
During the formation of the lava tube, the tremendous pressure of the
volcanic gases caused parts of the tunnel roof to explode,
exposing it to the outside world, and it is these open air caves that
are now known as the Jameos del Agua.
The attraction is certainly not recommended for anyone with mobility
problems as the entrance is via a stone staircase which leads into the
first cave known as the "Jameo Chico". Here you will find a small cafe
bar that is adjacent to a small lake of extremely clear water.
This lake is home to a species of
blind albino crabs called "Jameitos" which can
only be found here on Lanzarote, and in recognition, this unique
species has been adopted as the symbol of the Jameos del Agua.
Taking the narrow footpath around the lake then brings you into the
larger "Jameo Grande" cavern which will truly take your breath
away. Contact details are;
