Poison Garden

This interesting natural scene, beside the park's footpaths, is unusual in that it houses over seventy poisonous plant species from around the world.



The sustainable Garden

Developed in collaboration with the University of La Laguna is an attractive space that reproduces throughout 1,000m2 a typical Canarian ravine, with flowing water and the characteristic plant species found in these environments. Also, specimens of the European eel have been introduced, since it is the only freshwater fish present in the islands.
