Jameos del Agua

Jameos del Agua, located in the northern part of Lanzarote, is a unique cultural and natural site created by the artist César Manrique. The site is built within a volcanic tube formed by the eruption of the Corona volcano, demonstrating Manrique’s philosophy of integrating art with nature without destruction. The complex includes three main areas: Jameo Chico, Jameo Grande, and the natural auditorium.

Visitors can explore the underground lake, which is home to the Munidopsis polymorpha, a unique species of blind crab found only in this location. The site features a tropical garden with palm trees, creating a striking contrast with the volcanic landscape. The natural auditorium, with a capacity of 600, hosts cultural performances, including concerts and theatrical events, taking advantage of the acoustics and unique atmosphere of the volcanic tube.

The site is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with the last entry at 17:15. Admission is €17 for adults, with discounted rates for children. The experience is designed to offer a peaceful and immersive environment, allowing visitors to appreciate the natural beauty of the volcanic landscape. The combination of art, nature, and culture makes Jameos del a significant destination for those interested in the intersection of art and nature.
