In the botanical garden Finca Tropical you find, extending over several terraces, more than 300 different plants, from a rich vegetation of the “green“ island. Through them, the holiday village becomes a paradise for plant lovers. On the basis of its geographical situation and its influences from the Atlantic and trade winds, La Palma has a subtropical climate with sufficient water supply – the best precondition for the occurrence of ca. 1800 types of plants, which have not only aroused the admiration of the holiday makers, but also the interest of botanists.
