Charco de los Clicos – The Emerald Jewel of Lanzarote On the southwestern coast of Lanzarote lies one of the Canary Islands' most breathtaking natural wonders – Charco de los Clicos, also known as the Green Lagoon. The lagoon was formed within part of an ancient volcanic crater that was gradually opened to the Atlantic Ocean. Its remarkable emerald-green color is not a reflection of the sky but is caused by microscopic algae that thrive in the salty water. It is surrounded by a black volcanic sand beach, while the red and dark volcanic cones stand as a reminder of the island's dramatic volcanic past. This extraordinary landscape looks almost like a scene from another planet. Because of its unique beauty and fascinating geology, it is considered one of Lanzarote's most photographed natural landmarks, attracting visitors from all over the world. At sunrise and sunset, the colors of the volcanic rock, the Atlantic Ocean, and the emerald lagoon blend together to create a truly unforgettable natural masterpiece.
