Hidden away below the constant ocean winds of Lanzarote sits the Jardin de Cactus, or the Cactus Garden, which is home to over 400 varieties of cacti and succulents. The terraced bowl carved into the volcanic lava rock has no guard rails but offers a magnificent view over the grounds.
An hour is a conservative amount of time to inspect the grounds provided you don’t have a detailed interest in cacti. You can spend more time perusing the gift shop or having coffee at the cafe. There is also a windmill that was used to grind meal from grains at some point in time and sits among the garden off to the side. A narrow set of stairs takes you into where the working parts are.
