If you are planning to make an express visit to Lanzarote, here we give you a itinerary of 2 days:
Day 1: Grand Tour
We will visit:
- National Park of Timanfaya
- Jameos del Agua
- El Golfo (Lago Verde - Green Lake)
- La Geria
On the way to El Golfo we drive along the spectacular coastal road and border Salinas de Janubio and Los Hervideros to stop at El Golfo and its well-known Lago Verde (Green Lake). Then we head for the Timanfaya National Park. First we will see geothermal demonstrations in Islote de Hilario and then we will make the spectacular Route of the Volcanoes. In the same park we can also ride a camel* (not included in price).
We have lunch in Mancha Blanca next to the church of Los Dolores, Patron Saint of Lanzarote. We continue through landscapes of vineyards and lava and in La Geria where we stop to taste Lanzarote wine.
In the north we stop to admire the Valley of a Thousand Palms and Haría village. Finally we visit the spectacular volcanic cave Jameos del Agua which was transformed by César Manrique.
Day 2: César Manrique
We will visit:
- Cueva de los Verdes.
- Mirador del Río (Rio Viewpoint)
- Monumento al Campesino
- Jardín de Cactus
- Fundación César Manrique César Manrique Foundation)
In the centre of the island, César transforms a simple stone quarry into a tribute to agricultural work: Monumento al Campesino After this visit, the path leads us through the ancient capital Teguise to Los Valles. Our next stop surprises us with a beautiful view of the Valle de las Mil Palmeras (Thousand Palms Valley), and Corona Volcano.
We crossed the Haría village and visited El Mirador del Río (the river's viewpoint), transformed by the Lanzarote artist and enjoyed the view of the Chinijo archipelago. We descend through the "Corona volcano" and visit one of the most impressive caves of the island: you choose between Jameos del Agua or Cueva de los Verdes. The volcanic nature, always present in Manrique's work, is discovered with a visit to the beautiful Cactus Garden, the last work of this genius to be inaugurated.
Finally we visit The César Manrique Foundation: his home and source of inspiration. The house is perfectly integrated into the surrounding lava.
