Cruises and Shore Excursions a la Carte
South tour
|
Welcome to Lanzarote:
OTS/MTS incoming S.L will organise your individual Halfday or Fullday Excursion, which will definitely be one of the ultimative highlights of your cruise trip. According to your arrival and to your stay we offer:
SOUTH TOUR
The main attraction of Lanzarote is the Timanfaya National Park. During this trip you will discover the volcanoes, which araised in the 18th century. In this time, during more than 6 years almost a quarter of the island erupted and became a new series of volcanoes. That’s why the landscapes of Timanfaya National Park are very devastated.
Arriving in Timanfaya you can take a ride on camels (optional).
Crossing the unique volcanic landscape we will visit The Fire Mountains. Timanfaya still has some volcanic activity underground. Here you can have a look at some of the tricks the people from Lanzarote do with volcanic heat. For instance, if you throw some bushes into a hole in the ground, they start to burn in a few seconds.
Afterwards we drive through the Fire Mountains, this ride is very worthwhile, because Timanfaya is so incredibly beautiful.
Finally you will know the southern coast visiting Los Hervideros, or 'the boiling pots', are so-called because at this point of the island the sea hits the cliffs with such force as to make it seem as though it has reached boiling point when the waves rise up and swell into huge, foaming fountains.
Driving backwards you will see La Geria, the wine-growing zone where we visit a typical wine-cellar and have the opportunity of tasting the wine.
Duration approximately: 4 - 4.30 hours
Prices: on request

North tour and César Manrique

In the northern part of Lanzarote you can find fertile green fields and most of César Manrique’s works. This local artist is worldwide well-known and popular. He created the 7 tourist centres of Lanzarote and had a great influence on the protection of both the nature and the culture of the island.
We leave the port and heading towards Teguise the old capital of the island, you have the opportunity to visit this nice town. We continue on to the valley of Haría, the valley of the 1000 palms, then heading to the north of the island and “Mirador del Rio”, one of César Manrique’s works with a splendid view of the small islands La Graciosa, Montaña Clara and Alegranza. Afterwards we visit the cave “Cueva de los Verdes” which forms part of the lava flow which originated from the eruption of one of the biggest volcanoes.
Finally we will visit the “Fundación César Manrique” , the former house of Cesar Manrique. He built this house within volcanic landscape, big bubbles in the black lava form some of the rooms and a part of the house forms an exposition of his paintings and sculptures.
