Museo de aloe vera - Centro de Interpretación Yaiza
The Centro de Interpretación del Aloe Vera in Yaiza is one of three such centres that Aloe Plus Lanzarote runs on Lanzarote, alongside those in Punta Mujeres and Arrieta. Staff accompany visitors along the route and explain why the island's climate and volcanic soils favour a high quality aloe, how an aloe leaf is cut properly and how its fresh gel can be used at home. Guided tours are offered in several languages.

At the Yaiza centre the company shows the full aloe cycle: it grows around five hectares of certified organic aloe vera and takes care of the harvesting and of the production of its own food and cosmetic ranges. The route sets out the plant's main benefits, both external and internal.
The visit widens out to other elements of Lanzarote's identity, such as sea salt, cochineal, volcanic ash and wine, and explains how those natural resources have shaped the history and the culture of the island. Audiovisual content is subtitled, the premises are accessible to people with reduced mobility and pets are welcome. Groups can arrange their visit in advance through the centre's form.
