Visit the Palmetum Botanical Garden — one of the most unique botanical gardens in the Canary Islands and one of the most beautiful green oases in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This spectacular park is famous for having the largest palm tree collection in Europe, exotic tropical plants, waterfalls, and panoramic Atlantic Ocean views.

The Largest Palm Collection in Europe

Palmetum is home to hundreds of rare palm species from around the world, including Africa, Madagascar, the Caribbean, South America, Asia, and Oceania. It is considered one of the world's most important palm-focused botanical gardens and a paradise for nature lovers and photographers.

Tropical Atmosphere & Ocean Views

During your walk through the garden, you will discover tropical landscapes, ponds, streams, waterfalls, and shaded pathways with fantastic views over Santa Cruz and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the perfect place to relax away from crowded tourist areas.

A Unique Eco-Friendly Project
