Najbolje vreme za posetu
"Visit early morning (6-8 AM) when the valley is calmest and you can watch the mist burn off the palm tops. Weekdays are far less crowded than weekends."

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: "Those towering palm trees can reach up to 60 meters tall, making them the world's tallest palm species. Each tree can live for over a century, with its distinctive wax-coated trunk protecting it from the elements."
Istaknuto: "The wax palms here are living relics from the Jurassic period, having remained virtually unchanged for 200 million years. Standing among them feels like stepping into prehistoric world, with mist rolling through the valley as the palms sway 20 stories above your head."
