North Tour
A complete contrast to the south. Passing through Teguise, the old capital, we arrive at the highest point on the island, Peñas del Chache (671m). From this viewpoint, there are fabulous views of the northeast coastline and Haria, which is also known as the Valley of a Thousand Palms.
The Guinate Tropical Park, situated in the northwest of the island, is home to many tropical birds from all over the world. The parrot show is entertaining for both adults and children. The viewpoint at Guinate looks out onto the Chinijo islands of La Graciosa, Montaña Clara and Alegranza. A tasty lunch is enjoyed in a small fishing village.
At the Jameos del Agua, the creative genius of César Manrique is everywhere. He has transformed this lava tunnel and cave with subterranean walkways, hanging gardens, an auditorium and a volcanic museum.
We end the day with a visit to the César Manrique Foundation. This will give you the opportunity to see how the artist adapted five volcanic bubbles into the rooms of his house. A collection of his paintings and architectural designs are also exhibited.
You will return to your pick up points by around 17.00.
