The largest botanical garden in Spain and the finest in the Macaronesian islands — 27 hectares of dragon trees, giant Canarian palms, endemic laurel forest, and cliff-face cactus gardens carved into a ravine. With a private botanist-guide, it becomes a living encyclopedia of island evolution.
What to expect
Your guide leads you through the Dragon Tree Forest, the Macaronesian laurel collection, and the spectacular cliff gardens, pausing to explain the unique adaptations of each species. The garden's upper terraces reveal sweeping views across the Guiniguada ravine. The experience is as much philosophy as botany — an intimate meditation on isolation and evolution.
