Santa Cruz de Tenerife

There are local plants from the Canary Islands and fauna from as far as New Caledonia, but the star attraction is just how many palm trees there are. Each palm – and there are a lot – has been set amidst a backdrop of its native plant life.

Notable are the plants on display from the Caribbean, the most varied in the entire botanic garden. Your trip wouldn't be complete without stopping to see the baobabs, which have bloomed here every year since 2012.
