Lanzarote - The Island of Manrique

On Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands, you will find some of the most surprising and fantastic landscapes of the archipelago. The island combines nature’s best with man’s works, creating areas of breathtaking beauty. César Manrique, the island’s most famous artist, left his unmistakable mark throughout the island, converting lava deserts into oasis springing out of the rocks, water and tropical vegetation. Some of the most impressive are the Jameos del Agua, a labyrinth of caves and volcanic passages, and the Cactus Garden, bringing together the various vegetation and hundreds of species of cacti.  

While you are there, take a trip through the volcanoes of Timanfaya National Park, discovering new terrains and the volcanic beauty on foot, by bike, or even by camel!
