We will continue to Guatiza having a look to the prickly pears plantations where the the cochineal used as natural dye was cultivated. It inspired the last land art work of the famous artist César Manrique, the Cactus Garden. This garden is impressive for its originality and for the thousands of cacti and succulent plants from all over the world that it houses inside.
