TOUR B - JAMEOS DEL AGUA & THE NORTH
Excursions
- Approx. 4 hours
- Many steps
From Arrecife we drive northwards towards Teguise, the island’s former capital, where we shall stop briefly to see the traditional colonial architecture. We then pass through Haria, known as the Valley of a Thousand Palms, before arriving at Mirador del Rio – a spectacular viewpoint where we have a magnificent panoramic view. If weather permits we should be able to see Lanzarote’s tiny sister island of La Graciosa.
As we travel along the eastern coast we will arrive at the beautiful Jameos del Agua Cave, which resulted from volcanic activity and was decorated by the artist Cesar Manrique. Its saltwater lagoon is home to white crabs, which are not found anywhere else in the world.
Our return journey will take us south, where we will visit the cactus garden in Guatiza – Cesar Manrique converted a natural gravel mine into the beautiful garden with more than 1,000 species of cacti from all over the world. Following our visit, we return to the quayside and our awaiting ship.
TOUR NOTES: To visit the Jameos del Agua Cave, there are approximately 150 steps to negotiate, and around 30 steps at the cactus garden. Uneven and hilly ground will be encountered. This tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility or wheelchair users. Guests are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes, and to bring a jacket or jumper.
