Step into the fascinating world of cacti at Jardín de Cactus in Lanzarote, where more than a thousand different types of succulents from various desert and arid regions are on display. Situated in the village of Guatiza, the garden was the last project of renowned artist César Manrique, and his works can be seen throughout the garden. The garden is designed as a large amphitheatre, with terraced arrangements of plants that provide a stunning visual experience. A restored windmill, once used for producing gofio (a sort of Canarian flour), stands at the highest point, further adding to the charm of the place.

Revel in 360-degree views of temples, hovering high and low on a thrilling hot-air balloon ride. From 200 metres height, you can see the Angkorian ruins and the neighbouring countryside in all its splendour.

Art and nature intertwine in the spectacular setting of the Volcano House, managed by the César Manrique Foundation. Built into an old lava flow, this former home of renowned artist César Manrique offers a unique insight into his life and creative vision. The upper storey of this 3,000 square metre building showcases traditional Lanzarote architecture, while the lower storey is ingeniously built around five natural volcanic bubbles connected by tunnels. Marvel at the swimming pool, ballroom, and barbeque area, all surrounded by abundant plant life and striking basalt. The foundation houses an array of Spanish paintings and exhibition pieces, alongside fascinating photos, magazine articles, and audio clips that shed light on Manrique's life and artistic philosophy. Embrace the awe-inspiring blend of nature and creativity, and leave inspired by the harmony achieved in this remarkable volcanic abode.
