The Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo (Canary Botanical Garden) is the largest in Spain and is located in one of the most amazing places on the Island, 7 kilometres away from the capital, in the Guinigada cliff.

Gran Canaria's nature and contrasts have made it worth of the Biosphere Reserve stamp, awarded by UNESCO. Its wide diversity includes a rocky centre, filled with histroy and mystery, created by an active volcanic past.
You have probably seen a photograph of Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, the most admired "rocks" in Gran Canaria. The steep silhouette can be seen from anywhere in the centre of the island and you can get to them from many marked paths is always an interesting excursion.
If you decide to venture to La Cumbre we recommend wearing warm but light clothing and comfortable shows. The elevated areas are surrounded by fog and its temperature is much lower than in the rest of the island. If you travel in winter, you might even get to see snow, contrasting with the mild temperatures you can enjoy at the beach.
OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
For those who love climbing, Roque Nuble is a good option. It used to be a sacred place for the aboriginals and they also made sacrifices and rituals nearby.
Climb up to Mirador Degollada de Becerra and Pico de las Nieves, at 1.949 metres, and enjoy the sublime views.
After a long day, there is nothing better than enjoying a traditional meal. Near La cumbre you will find the towns of Tejada and Artenara.
