Jardín de Orquídeas Sitio Litre
Historic garden in Puerto de la Cruz, set around an old estate in the Orotava Valley, home to the oldest orchid collection in the Canary Islands.
The Sitio Litre Orchid Garden is a historic garden in Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife), specialising in orchids and with a well-documented history.
The estate is tied to the botanical history of the Canary Islands: it is credited as the place where the Canarian banana originated. The visit is rounded off by the Café Orquídea, serving breakfast and brunch, and by painting workshops held in the garden.
