5.0/5

Located in the volcanic rock formations of Lanzarote, Jardin de Cactus was built by local artist Cesar Manrique from an abandoned quarry. The park features a radial terraced layout and is planted with cacti of various shapes. The low walls made of white volcanic stone form a visual contrast with the dark lava background. In the center, an 18th-century stone windmill is preserved, and its wooden blades can still turn with the wind. The trail system in the park guides visitors to observe cactus species from different continents, and some areas simulate desert ecology to set up sandy microenvironments. It is recommended to choose the early morning hours to avoid strong light, when dew often condenses on the tips of cactus thorns. The neighboring village of Guatiza continues the traditional volcanic rock farming method, and the surrounding vineyard protective walls cultivated with black volcanic ash can be seen. The park combines land art and ecological display functions and can be reached by driving north along the LZ-1 highway from Arrecife, the capital of the island. Visitors can combine the trip to Timanfaya Volcano Park with a visit to the local wine cellar converted from volcanic tubes. The park store offers local handicrafts made from woven cactus fibers.
