1. 1
   Jameos Del Agua

   After a 30-minute drive from the port, we visit the Jameos del Agua, the first Art, Culture and Tourism Centre created by César Manrique, a natural space created inside a volcanic tunnel. Inaugurated in 1968, the artist, painter and sculptor transformed the space giving rise to a unique work in the world that represents the maximum expression of his ideology: artistic creation in harmony with the environment and nature.

   Casa Museo del Campesino

   After a 30 minute drive, we will visit the Casa-Museo del Campesino, located in the geographical centre of Lanzarote in the municipality of San Bartolomé. This is the work with which César Manrique recognises the efforts of the farmers of Lanzarote. From the bus we will see the Monumento a la Fecundidad, also known as the Monumento al Campesino. It is a construction of more than 15 metres, created by César Manrique together with the master Jesús Soto, from old water tanks from ships, iron and concrete objects assembled together, a magnificent reflection of avant-garde art, which has become one of the iconographic symbols of the island.

   La Geria

   After a 10-minute drive, we will visit La Geria, a peculiar area of the island of Lanzarote where vineyards abound. With a volcanic landscape and arid land, the quality of its wines is surprising. It is unusual to find vineyards in such a terrain. We will stop at a winery for a small wine tasting.

   Timanfaya National Park

   It will take us about 10 minutes drive to reach the Fire Mountains: the unusual result of the eruptions in the south of Lanzarote in the 18th and 19th centuries. A spectacle of red craters, lava flows and lunar landscapes that reflect the burning of the earth and its uncontrollable force. Its 200 kilometres of extension form part of the Timanfaya National Park, where one of the largest volcanic activities in the world can be seen, both for the immense quantity of materials thrown up by the fire, and for its spectacular duration: six years between 1730 and 1736 when the bowels of the island did not stop roaring.

   El Lago Verde / Charco de los Clicos

   For our last visit, we will take a 20-minute drive to the Lago Verde (Green Lake). Situated in the crater of a volcano, it has become one of Lanzarote's main tourist attractions. After the visit we will have a 30 minutes drive back to the harbour.
