Created by Royal Order of Carlos III in 1788, La Orotava Acclimatisation Gardens are the oldest botanical garden in the Canary Islands. They’re also known as Puerto de la Cruz Botanical Garden since years ago Puerto de la Cruz used to belong to the municipality of La Orotava and was known as Puerto de La Orotava.

This amazing garden is one of the best spots in North Tenerife to take a stroll in nature. You’ll find a huge collection of tropical and sub-tropical plants with over 5,000 different plants and 120 tree species!

Strolling through vibrant flowers and ancient trees that create a fairytale vibe, you’ll be amazed by the stunning Ficus Macrophylla Columnaris, one of the park’s main highlights. Get ready to soak in the incredible variety of plant species here, each unique in age, size, rarity, and origin. It’s a garden experience you won’t want to miss!

The Botanical Garden spans around 20,000 square meters and showcases an incredible variety of species from all over the globe. Tenerife’s climate is perfect for a mix of trees with different origins and needs. You’ll find not just the local plants, but also South American species, Californian palms, bromeliads, succulents, and so many other cool plants thriving here.

This garden project kicked off with the goal of bringing exotic plants from the New World, America, to the Iberian Peninsula. Tenerife acted as a cool acclimatization hub for these plants (that’s why it has this official name) before they made their way to Spain.

The garden got a serious upgrade in biodiversity thanks to four big botanical expeditions Spain kicked off in the 18th century, exploring the Philippines, Central America, Colombia, and Peru. How cool is that?

You can check out the La Orotava acclimatization garden any time of year! It’s open every day from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (and closes at 3:00 PM on Sundays). Entry costs just €3.00.
