A great place to take your children, particularly boys i'd say although my girls are quite fond of bugs! The huge indoor rainforest is amazing, the best butterfly jungle i think i've been to. You can have a change to handle some of the creatures too but I wasn't brave enought for the tarantula!

This beautiful garden was the last work for artist Cesar Manrique and it was completed in 1991. His intention was not educational, but aesthetic and he used the semiburied volcanic monoliths for the main sculptures of the garden. Located in the area of Mala and Guatiza, the garden has about 10,000 different types of cactus and is a hot tourist site. Relax, visit the gift shop and have a terrace lunch, all while taking in the beauty of this restored volcanic quarry.
