About
Γρήγορα στοιχεία: Palm crowns create a living skyline, their trunks and fronds casting cool, dappled shade that feels unlike much else on the island. Curated zones replicate tropical regions, so you can wander from Madagascan fan palms to Caribbean species past ponds, volcanic rock, and quietly burbling fountains.
Κύρια σημεία: A reclaimed landfill was sculpted into layered terraces, surprising visitors who discover thousands of palms thriving on volcanic earth and engineered soil mounds. Listen for the quick metallic calls of kingfishers and chiffchaffs among fan-shaped leaves, while golden hour turns trunks copper and the reflective lagoons into glass.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and a sun hat, many paths are exposed and some slopes are steep.
- Head for the northern terrace at golden hour for sea panoramas with Mount Teide in the background.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and a light snack, shaded benches are limited on the higher terraces.
- Follow the geographic-route signs to see American, African and Asian palm collections without backtracking.
