About Jardín de Cactus
The Jardín de Cactus, on Avenida Garafía in Guatiza, holds nearly 500 species from around the world and brings together architecture, sculpture and gardening in one work by César Manrique and his team; the first plant, a candelabra euphorbia that now reaches six to seven metres, was planted on 18 January 1989 (CACT). Pets are not admitted, except assistance dogs.
