There are leafy laurisilva, parched xerofila from the coasts, palm trees, cacti, beautiful aeonium, tabaibales and cardonales (giant cacti). Also, internationally renowned research into the flora of the Canary Islands is being done here, together with work on their protection and distribution. Admission: free
