Rock Formation and Prickly Pear Fields

Highlight • Natural Monument

The fields with the Opuntia cacti are reminiscent of the time when the cultivation of the cochineal aphid was mainly promoted here in order to obtain the red dye E120.

Ruins of the Cochineal Plantation Hacienda

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautiful Lost Place - a former mansion in the middle of the opuntia fields of the former plantation. Here the scale insects were 'harvested' to produce Crimson (E120) from them.
