Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo
Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo, Botanical garden in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.
The garden extends across 27 hectares of terrain, containing more than 500 plant species native to the Canary Islands and various subtropical regions.
Swedish botanist Eric Sventenius developed the garden's collection after its establishment in 1952, dedicating his life to creating this botanical sanctuary.
The garden maintains sections representing different Canarian ecosystems, from laurel forests to coastal vegetation, reflecting the islands' natural heritage.
Guided tours commence daily at 10:00 AM, lasting three hours with groups limited to eight participants for an enhanced educational experience.
The garden houses numerous plants facing extinction, including rare specimens of dragon trees and native palm species found only in the Canary archipelago.
