Jameos del Agua

Jameos del Agua

 

Los Jameos del Agua are considered one of the three jewels in the crown of Lanzarote, together with Cueva de los Verdes (with which it shares a volcanic tube) and the Timanfaya National Park (the island's volcano par excellence), a place where man's ingenuity and imagination embrace nature. 

 

Both the Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes in Lanzarote have the same origin, belonging to the same volcanic tube that erupted because of the Corona Volcano 4,000 years ago. It has a length of more than 6 kilometres and belongs to La Corona Natural Monument, which was designed as a site of Scientific Interest. It is impossible not to be amazed by the creativity of this brilliant architect during the creationg of this work.

 

This masterpiece by César Manrique brings together nature and art in a perfect combination that respects the environment and prepares it for your enjoyment. This was the first Art and Culture Centre created in Lanzarote by the artist and one of the most visited every day.

 

Visiting Jameos del Agua is to travel to the past, to know in depth Lanzarote's land, its history and evolution. From the first volcanic eruptions to the present day, the essence of Manrique's works have accompanied this island and have been a sign of pride to all its residents.

 

In the lake inside the cave, you can also find a species of crustacean known as White Crabs or Albino Crabs, which are unique in the entire planet.
