Alors que les six longues années d'éruptions du Timanfaya prenaient fin en 1736, les agriculteurs de La Geria pensaient que leurs terres fertiles étaient perdues à jamais sous une épaisse couche de cendres. Mais l'effort des familles locales à travailler la terre a porté ses fruits, et celle-ci a pu produire à nouveau. À force de travail et de détermination, les habitants sont parvenus à créer les vignobles de La Geria.
Vous commencerez par une belle promenade à pied sur des sentiers à travers des vignobles privés appartenant à la bodega familiale de Nacho Romero, ouverte exclusivement pour les visiteurs du National Geographic.
Alors que vous découvrez le caractère unique de ces paysages où les vignobles sont entourés de volcans, le propriétaire vous expliquera comment la couche de cendres volcaniques, appelée "picón", a façonné leurs méthodes de culture uniques au monde. Si vous avez la chance de les trouver mûrs, vous pourrez même cueillir des raisins directement de la vigne. Pendant ce temps, Nacho ou sa femme Luisa, tous les deux des viticulteurs, vous parleront des caractéristiques qui font la spécificité du vin volcanique. De retour à la cave après la promenade, vous pourrez déguster l'un des vins artisanaux que Nacho et Luisa produit dans sa propre cave.
Vous rejoindrez ensuite la Bodega La Geria, un autre élément important du mouvement de la viticulture écologique. Le vigneron lui-même, vous fera visiter la bodega. Vous découvrirez les secrets des "zocos", ces cratères ou fossettes dans le sable noir qui abritent les vignes du vent, ainsi que les différentes variétés de cépages qui prospèrent dans le terroir volcanique de Lanzarote. L'excursion se termine par une dégustation de l'un des vins renommés du domaine, accompagnée de fromages et de biscuits salés de la région.

Full-day Northern Lanzarote art and sightseeing tour
A day full of art, nature, and mouth-watering flavours awaits you on this full-day tour of northern Lanzarote. Lazlo, one of our local expert guides, says, “This tour gives you a snapshot of Lanzarote through the eyes of the island's legendary artist, sculptor, and eco-warrior, César Manrique. He worked with local authorities to protect the island's natural beauty by introducing laws to keep buildings low—no taller than palm trees and always in the classic Canarian style.”Your first stop is the César Manrique Foundation, which was also his former home, built right into lava bubbles – impressive, right? This spot is all about blending art and nature, with funky sculptures, wow-factor walkways, and plenty of cacti to marvel at. Next, we'll head to the Cueva de los Verdes, a natural wonder created by ancient lava flows, where you'll stroll through the stalactites and stalagmites of this underground world. From there, we'll continue to the Mirador del Rio, a viewpoint designed by Manrique himself. After snapping up some epic photos of Lanzarote and the Chinijo Archipelago from up high, you'll stroll through the Valley of a Thousand Palm Trees – where a tradition of planting a palm for each newborn has made this village the greenest spot on the island. You'll love the charming white Canarian houses, vibrant Bougainvillea, and learning that Manrique lived and worked in Haria until his passing in 1992. After a fresh, locally sourced lunch in a cosy Canarian house, you'll wrap up this adventure at the quirky Red House in Arrieta, perched right by the sea.

With its vine-laden lava fields, exuberant architecture and otherworldly landscapes, Lanzarote looks and feels like something from a sci-fi movie set. This exclusive half-day tour takes in the Cesar Manrique Foundation and his Cactus Garden, followed by a visit to LagOmar. Rosa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Manrique convinced his fellow islanders to invest in tourism without overdevelopment, making sure any human impact is in harmony with our volcanic landscapes.'Manrique was admired by many in his lifetime, and his influence on Lanzarote's culture lives on. He was a versatile artist producing paintings, sculptures and architectural works, bringing sustainability to the forefront of his creations, long before it became a buzzword. You'll first tour his Jardín de Cactus, where 1,100 species of sculptural succulents are grown. You can see instantly how Manrique's skill and vision enhanced the barren landscape.

This unique place is set in a volcanic quarry and includes features like a cave-bar, restaurant, and a museum. Local legend has it that Hollywood icon Omar Sharif briefly owned it, only to lose it in a game of cards.

Northern Lanzarote Tour with Jameos del Agua and Teguise
Mother Nature's imprint isn't the only one that looms large in Lanzarote. This half-day tour takes a close look at one of the island's most famous sons. You'll visit his Jameos del Agua and Mirador del Rio viewpoint. And you'll also discover the oldest town in the Canaries, Teguise. Cristina, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Local artist Cesar Manrique was to Lanzarote what Gaudi was to Barcelona. His architectural vision and activism left us a unique style in harmony with our volcanic landscapes and also helped preserve the island – he was opposed to high-rise hotels, so very few were built.'The discovery begins at the Manrique-designed complex built around the Jameos del Agua volcanic caves. He converted them into a nightclub in the 60s. The stage is still in use, but the stars nowadays are the rare white crabs in a saltwater pond. Next, we'll cut through dramatic volcanic landscapes to the Mirador del Rio – another Manrique masterpiece. At almost 500 metres above sea level, it offers unbeatable views over the island of La Graciosa and its volcanoes.After calling in at an Aloe Vera producer to learn the secrets of this versatile plant, you'll pass through a string of pretty villages en route to Teguise.
