About
Datos rápidos: Stepping along shaded paths, you encounter tropical palms, dramatic waterfalls, and koi-filled ponds that make the place feel like a hidden rainforest. Art and history pop up everywhere: vibrant azulejo tile murals and a surprising mineral and fossil collection are tucked behind the greenery, creating a playful contrast between wild plantings and curated displays.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable, slip-resistant shoes for steep, often damp paths.
- Bring a light rain jacket; mountain weather can change quickly even on sunny days.
- Arrive early or after 4pm to avoid large cruise-ship groups and get softer light for photos.
- Explore beyond the tile collections, the ponds and viewpoints are quieter and photo-worthy.
