Acclimatisation Gardens of La Orotava

The oldest botanical gardens in the Canary Islands

The Acclimatisation Gardens of La Orotava, in Puerto de la Cruz, is one of the best places in the north of Tenerife to spend time embracing nature. Plant lovers will discover a huge variety of plants and flowers, particularly of tropical origin: in some areas visitors will really feel like they are in a jungle. Also known by the name of Botanical Garden of Puerto de la Cruz (Jardín Botánico de Puerto de la Cruz), it was established over 200 years ago and is definitely worth a visit.

Stroll among tropical flowers, capturing the moment on camera

Taking your camera along with you to this garden is really not an option: anyone visiting will most certainly want to capture images of the beautiful flowers and ancient trees, like the fig tree with its huge roots above ground, which could have leapt straight from the pages of a fairytale. The La Orotava Acclimatisation Gardens is a very pleasant and relaxing place to spend time thanks to its marvellous display of vegetation and can be visited all year round.

Sustainability

Do not take photos using the flash. They could damage items of artistic and cultural value.
Use the waste-paper baskets and, insofar as possible, separate and place your recycling waste in the appropriate containers. Do not eat inside exhibition rooms.
Try to be careful with your rucksack or bag and make sure you do not hit anything when you move.
Try to be silent or speak quietly so that you do not bother other visitors.
