Full description
Be transported to another time through the paved streets and historical plazas of Teguise, the municipal capital of Teguise. Enjoy a great view of El Valle de las Mil Palmeras (the valley of the thousand palm trees) on the way to Los Valles towards Haría. Then visit the Cueva de los Verdes, a uniquely beautiful cave with an indescribable interior formed by volcanic eruptions. After passing through Arrieta and Mala, stop at the aloe museum where you will learn about the benefits of aloe. Continue to Guatiza to have a look to the prickly pears plantations where the natural dye, cochineal, is produced. Explore the old quarry where the famous artist César Manrique perfectly fused nature and art. Follow the road to the César Manrique Foundation, located in the old house of the magnificent Lanzarote-born artist. Here, we have the opportunity to contemplate Manrique’s work, as well as various paintings and sculptures by different avant-garde artists.

    A good tour, a little light on detail about Manrique himself and would have been nice to have an extra 15min in Teguise and also at the foundation but overall a decent day. Manfred, the guide, was particularly good guiding a very large party safely through the caves. Lunch was better than on some other tours so a good day out. Recommended

    What a lovely way to spend a day. We really enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend this tour. There were so many amazing things to see, it was quite overwhelming at times. We enjoyed the lunch. Our guide was so charming, clearly passionate about Lanzarote and spoke four different languages so confidently, I was very impressed.

    Great communication to arrange pick-up, excellent guide (doing it in German and English), very interesting cultural trip around the island. Was hungry for lunch after the caves, great buffet meal filled us up! Would fully recommend this trip. Value for money.
