Discover with us the work of a genius! In the centre of the island Cesar turns a simple quarry into a homage to agricultural work: the Farmers’ Monument, Manrique's work and tribute to the work of Lanzarote´s rural community, whose efforts are materialized in La Geria, a unique landscape in the world, and in obtaining agricultural products from a land as dry as that of this island. It contains an extraordinary collection of tools and instruments used by the farmers through the times that allow the visitor to recover much of the history of the island and its traditions.

After your visit, the road takes us from the village of Teguise, the ancient capital of Lanzarote, to the valleys. The beautiful views of the road force us to stop near the highest point of the island, to view the Valley of the Thousand Palm Trees, the village of Haría, the Volcano Corona, the northeast coast and its towns

We cross the village of Haría and pay a visit to El Mirador del Río, the work of the local artist and from the terraces and windows of this magnificent viewpoint you can have a glance at a beautiful landscape, highlighting the panoramic view of the Chinijo archipelago (islets: Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Alegranza, Roque del Este and Roque del Oeste) at a height of 479 meters above sea level.

 

We descend La Corona Volcano, a 6 km long volcanic tube in the north of Lanzarote, and visit one of the most impressive parks of the island: Jameos del Agua.

Here it is up to you what you would like to see:

“Jameos del Agua", transformed by the artist César Manrique, who intends to show the visitor an area to observe nature hardly intervened by man.

Jameos del Agua is a huge hole that occurs as a result of the sinking of the roof of a volcanic tube and located inside the volcanic tunnel produced by the eruption of the Crown Volcano. The tunnel has a known length of 6 km, of which at least 1,5 km run under the sea surface. Jameos del Agua are located in the section of this tunnel closest to the coast.

The volcanic nature, always present in the work of Manrique, we discover it with the visit of the beautiful "Cactus Garden", the last open work of César Manrique and where he manages to maintain the binomials between art and nature. In the 5,000 m2 of this Tourist Center we will find about 7,200 specimens of more than 1,100 different species of cactus.

We reserve till the end, the visit of the "César Manrique Foundation", his home and source of inspiration. House perfectly integrated in the lava that surrounds it. Built in 1968 on a lavage lava from the eruption that occurred on the island during 1730-36, it uses, at the lower level, the natural creation of five volcanic bubbles, to shape a surprising and exemplary habitable space in terms of natural space action in the one that it is.

 

After these spectacular visits, we return to the road that takes us back to our hotel.

Lunch en route*. / *Optional: Not included in the price

Ja , das war doch mal ein schöner Ausflug. Die Tour über Cesar Manrique in den Norden Lanzarotes hat uns sehr überrascht. Die Vulkanhöhlen , das Haus von Omar Sharif und das Leben des canarischen Künstlers Cesar Manrique kennenzulernen waren die Höhepunkte des Ausfluges. Sogar meine Frau hat der Ausflug gefallen. Vielen Dank an Erich , unseren Reiseleiter. Es war ein sehr schöner Tag. Weiter so.

visite d'une journée pleine d'intérêt et de diversité. Toutes les entrées sont comprises. On peut choisir entre cuevas del verde et jameos del agua, ce qui est très appréciable. Le restaurant - non compris- est infect. Le prix est dérisoire 8 euros par personne mais nous avons été malades tous les deux ce qui malheureusement a gâché la fin de nos vacances

Very well organised, got to see so much in a day, and covered all the main attractions. There is enough time to enjoy each attraction. Lunch in a very picturesque location, very good food.

The tour guide was very informative and efficient. The lunch stop was not good, for those not eating the area was not comfortable or interesting. We were not informed about the artisan market at the foundation and did not include time to see it which was disappointing.
