    Initially created as a nursery for the Botanical Garden of Puerto de la Cruz, this small garden, in La Orotava, is a pleasant place to walk and observe the different plants found there. It is also free to enter.

    Very nice park, many different plants including Dragon Tree and bannana palms, ideal place to sit down for a moment during La Orotava sightseeing and contemplate the nature :)

    A lovely, pretty little botanical garden next door to the victorian garden. Most of the plants are labelled and packed with colourful flowers, shrubs and trees. Their are some seats to rest on and the foot paths are mostly flat but beware of some trees roots in places. Their is a big fish pond at the top. Apparently most of the specimens came from cutting /seeds etc from the botanical gardens in Puerto de la Cruz. Entry is free and it is definitely worth a visit.

    Another beautifully landscaped park in La Orotava with overwhelmingly enchanting flowers and plants. Ideal for a shady break while strolling through the city. Admission free of charge. The opening times stated on the notice board do not apply. We were there on a Saturday at 6 p.m.

    It is a magnificent garden, located behind the La Orotava Town Hall. It served to acclimatize some plant species and then move them to the Botanical Garden located in Puerto de la Cruz. There are many foreign and local species and plants. Very worth visiting this small garden in La Orotava. Admission is free and it is another complement to visiting this beautiful city.

    This area was designed over the old garden of the Clarisas Convent. The extension was conceived in the last third of the 19th century as a nursery for the Botanical Garden in Puerto de la Cruz, although most of the species planted here have remained. The extension is a haven of peace, which is unusual in La Orotava's historical centre. It houses a unique compendium of plant species, thanks to its special conditions that make it conducive to acclimatisation. Most of the plants are of tropical origin, both African and American. It’s also home to some really unusual plants for these latitudes such as the Roxburgh fig of the Himalayas. You’ll also find one of the most impressive dragon-trees in La Orotava today. The extension is home to numerous birds, and a short walk through it will open your senses to a wealth of songs and plant and flower fragrances. Take a moment to enjoy and then head towards the town hall to discover its art collections.

    Very nice park just behind the town hall, it was opened for the tourists, on the center of park is a huge dracaen tree, very impressive, but whole park is very nice :)

    Wonderful little botanical garden. It only takes ~10-15 min to see it all, but I would say it's the most interesting spot in the city. Free to enter.

    A great free of charge botanical garden right behind the city hall of Orotava. It has an impressive collection of plants from around the world and as a cherry on the cake a beautiful old dragon tree. You have to see it! ;)
