Description

Begin at the César Manrique Foundation, the artist’s former home built into volcanic lava bubbles. Explore his studios, admire his artwork, and see how he fused design with the island’s raw volcanic terrain to create a living masterpiece. Continue to the Monumento al Campesino, Manrique’s tribute to Lanzarote’s farmers. This striking sculpture is surrounded by traditional architecture and artisan workshops, giving you a glimpse into the island’s rural heritage and the resilience of its people. Next, wander through the stunning Jardín de Cactus (The Cactus Garden), a dramatic amphitheater carved into an old quarry and transformed into a garden of over 4,500 cactus species from across the world. It’s one of Manrique’s most beloved creations, where bold design and natural beauty meet. Your journey then takes you to Jameos del Agua, a breathtaking volcanic cave system redesigned by Manrique into a cultural space. From its serene underground lake inhabited by rare blind albino crabs to its unique auditorium and gardens, this is one of Lanzarote’s most iconic attractions. Finally, end the day at Mirador del Río, a spectacular clifftop viewpoint offering panoramic views across the Atlantic to La Graciosa Island and the Chinijo Archipelago. Manrique’s design integrates the viewpoint seamlessly into the volcanic rock, making the landscape itself part of the art. After a day filled with art, culture, and unforgettable views, your driver/guide will return you to your hotel, leaving you with a deeper appreciation of Lanzarote’s natural wonders and Manrique’s lasting legacy.
