The easiest way to get to Jameos del agua
Duration: 3 hours.
The “Jameos del Agua” are located inside the volcanic tunnel, 6km in length, produced by the eruption of the volcano of the Crown (Volcán de la Corona). “Jameos del Agua” are located in the nearest part of the coast of this tunnel. They are named because of the existence of an internal lake which constitutes a specific geological formation, which arises from a filtration on the earth because it is below the sea level. What´s the meaning of the name "Jameos del Agua", it’s really simple, it just means “Water Jameos” which is the aboriginal name for the tunnel entrance.
This underground aquatic habitat, results on the existence of blind crabs (Munidopsis polymorpha) that pace the rocky bottom of the lake and are whitish in color and one centimeter in length, this rarity that has made them a symbol of “Jameos del Agua”.
Jameos del Agua is the first Centre for Arts, Culture and Tourism created by César Manrique and is the reflection of his creative pillars: the harmony between nature and artistic creation. Every corner is a surprise better than the last: inland lakes, gardens, volcanic rock, caverns and blind albino crabs which are unique in the world.
Like the Cueva de los Verdes, they are located inside the tunnel caused by the volcanic eruption of La Corona Volcano. Another place to visit during your stay in Lanzarote.
