Northern Lanzarote tour with Green Caves and Jameos del Agua with optional lunch
Larger-than-life Lanzarote legend César Manrique left his imprint all over the island, but nowhere more so than the north. The architect was inspired by the region's extraordinary geology. This tour takes in three iconic sights – the Green Caves, Jameos del Agua and Mirador del Rio. David, one of our local guides, says, "the north of the island was a canvas for Manrique's palette. As he used to say, “the north is still the traditional Lanzarote.”First up are the Green Caves, where a maze of galleries and stairways lead you to a natural auditorium. These caverns – 16 have been discovered so far – are air bubbles that are linked by a tunnel created by the lava flow from a volcanic eruption. During the 1960s, the Cabildo of Lanzarote commissioned Jesús Soto to adapt the cave system for visitors, creating one of the island's most fascinating attractions. The influence of Manrique is, however, even more pronounced in the Jameos del Agua. Here, he harmonised this roofless volcanic cave, adding rock gardens and a glassy lake, filled with blind, white crabs found only in Lanzarote.Also on the agenda is Mirador del Rio, one of Manrique's most sci-fi creations. Not only does this viewpoint blend in seamlessly with its surroundings atop a 470-metre-tall cliff, but it boasts wow-factor vistas across to the island of La Graciosa. Next, you'll head to Haria, an oasis of green known as the “Valley of a Thousand Palms,” scattered with whitewashed houses and surrounded by peaks. If you book the tour option that includes lunch, you'll sit down for a meal made from locally sourced ingredients in a typical Canarian house here, too.

The inside story
Perched high above Lanzarote’s northern coastline, Mirador del Río is one of the island’s most spectacular viewpoints. Designed by renowned artist and architect César Manrique, the lookout blends seamlessly into the surrounding cliffs, revealing breathtaking views only once you step inside. From here, the Atlantic stretches towards the neighbouring island of La Graciosa, with volcanic landscapes and rugged coastlines unfolding in every direction.
You can take in panoramic views from the observation deck, relax with a drink in the café, or explore the building’s curved windows and organic design, which reflect Manrique’s vision of architecture working in harmony with nature. On clear days, the contrast between the deep blue ocean, ochre cliffs and untouched islands creates one of Lanzarote’s most memorable vistas. Mirador del Río is built nearly 500 metres above sea level and was carefully integrated into the cliff face to minimise its visual impact on the landscape.
