The Art, Culture and Tourism Centers of Lanzarote were created, with the help of César Manrique, with the intention of demonstrating that the symbiosis between man and nature is possible in unique places in the world.
The experience that the tourist has in Timanfaya is especially unique. The visit to the volcanological environment helps our visitors talk about our island and in turn be prescribers of a destination that, far from being just sun and beach, offers unrepeatable beauties.
Lanzarote residents, by recommending a visit to Timanfaya to our tourists, are spreading the landscape and ideas that make us unique as a society and as a vacation spot. A visit to the Mountains of Fire is the closest thing to a "trip to the moon", where the mind escapes and transports you to the "unreal world" created by volcanic eruptions.
Visiting Timanfaya is an approach to the figure of our most universal artist, César Manrique, who was able to imagine a construction in the form of a flying saucer in the middle of a volcanic environment. Manrique was also a visionary in matters such as respect for nature, sustainable tourism and the combination of business and admiration for art and the planet we inhabit.
The tourist center in the south of the island pays tribute to the history of an island that faced the devastating effects of volcanic eruptions.
