Places to see in ( Canary Islands - Spain ) Botanical Gardens Puerto De La Cruz

Also referred to as Jardin de Aclimatacion de La Orotava or, simply, El Botanico, the Botanical Garden of Tenerife is actually located in the municipality of Puerto de la Cruz. Besides the inner scientific value of the garden, the venue is also of historic interest.

Thus, its origins go back to the late 18th century when it was founded upon the order of Marquis Alonso de Nava y Grimon, with the supervision of Nicolas Eduardo. In time, the scientific virtues of the garden were repeatedly ascertained as to the diversity of the species sheltered here.

The floral asset of the garden is also worthy of appreciation by force of the rarity of certain specimens. The highlights of the garden refer to the wide range of species of palm trees.

Although known officially as Jardín de Aclimatación de la Orotava, or "JAO", this installation is actually in Puerto de La Cruz (there is a smaller one actually in La Orotava).

Since its inauguration, all those years ago, it has become one of the most important botanical gardens in the world, rating alongside such others as Kew Gardens in London.

It is a huge place, covering around 20,000 square metres. If that wasn't enough, plans are underway to double its size, with the addition of landscaping and more modern facilities.
