The oldest garden in Tenerife

The oldest garden in Tenerife, more than 220 years old, has a private mansion dating back to 1730. Its owners have decided to open the magical garden to the public, with curiosities such as the largest collection of orchids on the island, the largest and oldest dragon tree in Puerto de la Cruz, and reminiscences of important visitors such as the famous German botanist, explorer and discoverer Alexander von Humboldt, and Agatha Christie. It has a cafe and boutique specializing in typical products and an exhibition of different paintings on loan from the Royal Botanic Gardens in London at Kew, with which there is a collaboration agreement.

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.
