The Cactus Garden in Lanzarote: Volcanic Landscapes, Art, and a Restaurant With a View

#canaryislands #lanzarote is famous for its volcanic landscapes and artistic touch, and nowhere is this more evident than at the Cactus Garden (Jardín de Cactus). Designed by the visionary César Manrique, this site transforms an old quarry into a stunning botanical space filled with over 4,500 cactus species from around the world. It’s one of the island’s most visited attractions, and after spending an afternoon there, I completely understand why. #canaryislands 🌵 Why visit? This garden isn’t just for plant lovers. It’s a piece of art where cacti from Mexico, Madagascar, and even Peru stand tall against the stark volcanic black soil. The circular amphitheater-like layout creates endless photo opportunities. The windmill at the top adds to the charm and offers panoramic views of Lanzarote’s dramatic landscape. 🎟 Entry fee: Around €6.50 per adult. Tickets can be purchased online or at the entrance. 📍 Where is it? The Cactus Garden is located in Guatiza, in the northeast of Lanzarote. It’s about 20 minutes by car from Arrecife and easy to reach with a rental car booked on Trip.com. 🍽 The restaurant Don’t miss the onsite restaurant, where you can enjoy local dishes while admiring the garden. I tried the cactus burger and a volcanic black bread sandwich—both delicious and unique! With floor-to-ceiling windows, the views are just as memorable as the food. 📸 Best time to visit Visit in the morning for soft light and fewer crowds, or in the late afternoon for dramatic shadows across the volcanic terrain. 🌋 What makes it special The combination of art, nature, and Lanzarote’s raw volcanic beauty is what makes this place unforgettable. It’s more than a garden; it’s a showcase of how design can integrate with nature seamlessly. 📌 Tip: Pair your visit with stops at other César Manrique creations nearby, like Jameos del Agua, to get the full Lanzarote experience.

Here you can see how strange and how beautiful is the island of Lanzarote. This is the place where all the views are like from Mars and not from the Earth. The Timnfaya park is the place where you can see all these volcanos. Also there are many small lakes around. #lanzarote #canary #spain #happynewyear
