Your Itinerary

Fundacion Cesar Manrique

After a short drive of approximately 30 minutes from your hotel, we will visit the César Manrique Foundation, which is located in the unique and spectacular house designed by César Manrique himself on his return from New York, when he decided to settle permanently in Lanzarote. It was located in the middle of a lava flow caused by the great eruptions that took place on the island between 1730 and 1736. In this construction, which occupies 3,000 square metres on a 30,000 square metre estate, the dialogue between the building and nature stands out, fusing volcano and architecture in a relationship of permanent respect.

Admission Included

Teguise Market

The trip was excellent very prompt pick up. Excellent guide ,Vanessa who was very knowledgeable & fun) throughly enjoyed our day. Foundation was simply stunning & the market had everything you could possibly want. Would highly recommend

ElsaCL

The build concept of this Foundation is also to integrate nature with human-made creations. The floor to ceiling wall gives visitors the feeling of expansiveness while viewing, lava, vegetation and mountains outdoors. The late Cesar Manrique has interesting conclusions about our short lives, our environment that formed the principles with which he lived his life and how temporary existence on earth in Lanzarote could have preserved natural vistas.

A varied and beautiful trip! A lively and interesting guide, everything very well organised, beautiful places. Many insights into local culture and history.

This is far more interesting than perhaps you would expect. The garden is in a bowl and once inside it is beautiful and like a different word. Amazing how interesting and varied cactus can be. A nice cafe with lovely views over the garden. Ideal for coffee and cake. Very Manrique and the toilets are really interesting - at least check out all the exteriors !! Very worth a visit.

Mary M

We didn’t have very long at the market considering it was a large one and we also needed our lunch. An extra half an hour would have helped.

Loved it all House & cactus garden amazing Market very busy not my thing Guide was very professional Well worth the money

Jee31

Disappointing and insufficient time at each destination. 40 minutes Cactus Garden, 1 and a half hours Teguise market (totally insufficient time for exploring the size of the market and gorgeous town) and 50minutes in Cesar Manrique Foundation. We had very little time to read all the exhibitions. It left us with no time to have a drink anywhere. I thought this was a full day but we were back in our hotel by 2:30pm after being picked up at 9am. We would have preferred Teguise market at the end of the excursion.
