Puerto de la Cruz Botanical Garden<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start your day at the <strong>Puerto de la Cruz Botanical Garden<\/strong>, also known as the <strong>Jard\u00edn de Aclimataci\u00f3n de La Orotava<\/strong> or simply <strong>El Bot\u00e1nico<\/strong>. It\u2019s the first stop I recommend when exploring <strong>Puerto de la Cruz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The garden was created in 1788 by order of <strong>Carlos III<\/strong>, who asked scientists in the colonies to gather exotic plants and help them adapt to the climate in <strong>Puerto de la Cruz<\/strong> before sending them to Madrid and Aranjuez. This made it the <strong>second oldest botanical garden in Spain<\/strong> and the <strong>oldest in the Canary Islands<\/strong>. A few years later, Carlos IV continued the project.<\/p>\n<p>Today, it\u2019s a beautiful and peaceful place, full of trees and plants from all over the world. In my opinion, <strong>it\u2019s absolutely worth a visit<\/strong>. You can see it all in about an hour, and it\u2019s definitely one of the must-see spots in Puerto de la Cruz. If you enjoy gardens, I also recommend the <strong>Palmetum<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/viajes\/que-ver-en-santa-cruz-de-tenerife\/\">Santa Cruz de Tenerife<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Entry Price<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>General admission: \u20ac3<\/li>\n<li>Residents and students: \u20ac2<\/li>\n<li>Children under 14: Free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Opening Hours<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Open daily from 9:00am to 6:00pm<\/li>\n<li>Closed on 1 January, Good Friday, and 25 December<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8849\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8849\" src=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jardin-botanico-puerto-de-la-cruz.jpg\" alt=\"Botanical Garden of Puerto de la Cruz\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jardin-botanico-puerto-de-la-cruz.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jardin-botanico-puerto-de-la-cruz-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/jardin-botanico-puerto-de-la-cruz-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Things to Do in Puerto de la Cruz: Botanical Garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"custom-divider\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>2. San Amaro Parish Church<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Right across from the <strong>Mirador de la Paz<\/strong>, and just a short walk from the <strong>Botanical Garden<\/strong>, you\u2019ll find the <strong>San Amaro Parish Church<\/strong>. Built in 1591, it\u2019s the <strong>oldest religious building in Puerto de la Cruz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It was built by local residents and quickly became a <strong>pilgrimage site<\/strong>. Since then, the <strong>San Amaro pilgrimage<\/strong> has been celebrated every year on 15 January.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the simple, single-nave church, you\u2019ll find a statue of San Amaro, an image of Our Lady of Peace, and several 18th-century Mexican paintings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6642\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6642\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6642 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/parroquia-de-san-amaro-que-ver-en-puerto-de-la-cruz.jpg\" alt=\"San Amaro Parish Church | Puerto de la Cruz\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Things to Do in Puerto de la Cruz: San Amaro Parish Church<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"custom-divider\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>3.

From here, you\u2019ll get one of the <strong>best views of Lago Marti\u00e1nez<\/strong> and the vast <strong>Atlantic Ocean<\/strong>. On a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of <a href=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/viajes\/ruta-por-la-palma-en-4-dias\/\">La Palma<\/a> in the distance.<\/p>\n<p>The viewpoint is surrounded by bars and restaurants. The square itself is named after <strong>Agatha Christie<\/strong>, in honour of her book *The Mysterious Mr Quin*. In my opinion, it\u2019s one of the <strong>most peaceful and beautiful places in Puerto de la Cruz<\/strong>, perfect for taking in the sea breeze.<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy walking, this is where the <strong>Coastal Trail (Sendero de la Costa)<\/strong> begins. It leads to some of <strong>Tenerife\u2019s best beaches<\/strong>: El Bollullo, Los Patos and El Anc\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6260\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6260\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6260 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/mirador-la-paz-puerto-de-la-cruz-2.jpg\" alt=\"La Paz Viewpoint\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/mirador-la-paz-puerto-de-la-cruz-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/mirador-la-paz-puerto-de-la-cruz-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/mirador-la-paz-puerto-de-la-cruz-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Things to Do in Puerto de la Cruz: La Paz Viewpoint<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"custom-divider\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>4.

It was opened in 1916 and is part of the <strong>Avenida Aguilar y Quesada<\/strong>, one of the city\u2019s best-known streets.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the path, you\u2019ll arrive at <strong>Marti\u00e1nez Beach<\/strong>, our next stop. And if you\u2019re in the mood for shopping or grabbing a bite, you\u2019re just a short walk from the <strong>Las Pir\u00e1mides de Marti\u00e1nez shopping centre<\/strong>, which has shops, restaurants and underground parking.<\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-divider\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>6. Marti\u00e1nez Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Nestled between the <strong>Marti\u00e1nez hillside<\/strong> and <strong>Lago Marti\u00e1nez<\/strong>, this black sand beach is one of the city\u2019s most iconic spots.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a firm favourite among locals and <strong>perfect if you\u2019re into surfing<\/strong>. The area near the cliff has great waves and often hosts competitions.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re after something a bit calmer, head to the part of the beach that\u2019s protected by a breakwater, right next to Lago Marti\u00e1nez. Even so, I\u2019d recommend wearing water shoes and being cautious.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6261\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6261\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6261 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/playa-martianez-que-ver-en-puerto-de-la-cruz.jpg\" alt=\"Playa Martianez\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/playa-martianez-que-ver-en-puerto-de-la-cruz.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/playa-martianez-que-ver-en-puerto-de-la-cruz-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/playa-martianez-que-ver-en-puerto-de-la-cruz-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Things to Do in Puerto de la Cruz: Marti\u00e1nez Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"custom-divider\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>7.

There are also play areas for kids, a terrace with a restaurant, and the overall atmosphere is calm and peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>The park is <strong>divided into three main areas<\/strong>: <strong>La Atalaya<\/strong>, home to the Dulce Mar\u00eda Loynaz viewpoint; <strong>Camino de La Sortija<\/strong>, popular with joggers and walkers; and the <strong>Taoro Gardens<\/strong>, ideal for enjoying nature at a slower pace.<\/p>\n<p>There are two historical buildings worth seeing in the park: the old <strong>Gran Hotel Taoro<\/strong>, opened in 1890 and once host to famous guests like <strong>Agatha Christie<\/strong>, and the <strong>Anglican Church<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10210\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10210\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10210 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/parque-taoro-que-ver-en-puerto-de-la-cruz.jpg\" alt=\"parque taoro\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10210\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Things to Do in Puerto de la Cruz: Taoro Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"custom-divider\"><\/div>\n<h3>13. Plaza del Charco<\/h3>\n<p>If there\u2019s one place that truly captures the spirit of Puerto de la Cruz, it\u2019s <strong>Plaza del Charco<\/strong>. Right in the heart of town, this square has been a meeting point for locals and visitors alike for more than a century. It\u2019s where major celebrations take place, such as the <strong>Virgen del Carmen Festivities<\/strong>, <strong>Festival Mueca<\/strong> and <strong>Carnival<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Its name comes from the <strong>saltwater puddles<\/strong> that used to form when waves reached inland from the harbour. Back in the day, people even raised shrimp in them! The square has had a few names over time, but locals have always called it <strong>Plaza del Charco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The square is full of life, surrounded by caf\u00e9s, restaurants and shops. You\u2019ll find lush greenery, including <strong>Canarian palm trees<\/strong>, <strong>Indian laurels<\/strong> and a huge <strong>elephant ear plant<\/strong> at its centre. There are also kiosks, shaded benches and a children\u2019s play area.<\/p>\n<p>By day, it\u2019s perfect for a rest or a drink outdoors. And by night, the bars and restaurants come alive with live music and street performers\u2014just the place for a laid-back dinner with atmosphere.<\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-divider\"><\/div>\n<h3>14. Loro Parque \u2013 A Must-Visit Zoo in Puerto de la Cruz<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Loro Parque<\/strong> is one of the top places to visit in <strong>Puerto de la Cruz<\/strong> if you\u2019re an animal lover. This zoo is known for its conservation work and breeding programmes for endangered species, and it really stands out for its excellent facilities and animal care.<\/p>\n<p>The park is famous for its shows featuring <strong>dolphins, orcas and sea lions<\/strong>. It also has one of the <strong>largest aviaries in the world<\/strong>, home to an incredible variety of parrot species. You\u2019ll also find a climate-controlled area for a large penguin colony, a shark tunnel aquarium, and beautifully kept gardens with tropical and exotic plants.<\/p>\n<p>A visit to the park will take you at least 4 to 5 hours. Realistically though, if you ask me, it\u2019s worth spending the whole day. When you arrive, you\u2019ll get a leaflet with a map and the activity schedule, which is really helpful for planning your visit.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to combine it with something else, you could do Loro Parque in the morning and explore the town in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<h4>Entry Price<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Adults (non-residents): \u20ac42<\/li>\n<li>Adults resident in the Canary Islands: \u20ac22<\/li>\n<li>Children aged 6 to 11: \u20ac30<\/li>\n<li>Children aged 6 to 11 (Canary Islands residents): \u20ac14<\/li>\n<li>Children under 6: Free entry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Opening Hours<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Open daily from 9:30am to 5:30pm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"custom-button\" href=\"https:\/\/gyg.me\/PnEuWj9P\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Book your tickets to Loro Parque<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6271\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6271\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6271 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/loro-parque-puerto-de-la-cruz.jpg\" alt=\"Loro Parque Puerto de la Cruz\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/loro-parque-puerto-de-la-cruz.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/loro-parque-puerto-de-la-cruz-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/richiperez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/loro-parque-puerto-de-la-cruz-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>Things to Do in Puerto de la Cruz: Loro Parque<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"custom-divider\"><\/div>\n<h3>15.

So it\u2019s definitely the most convenient option. But don\u2019t worry if you find a good deal flying into <strong>Tenerife South<\/strong>\u2014even without a hire car, you can still get to <strong>Puerto de la Cruz<\/strong> by bus (called \u201cguaguas\u201d locally). Just make sure to check your arrival time carefully\u2014if you land late at night, connections may be limited.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, the best way to get around the island is by <strong>hiring a car<\/strong>. It gives you total freedom without depending on bus timetables. You\u2019ll find car hire offices both at the airport and in the port. The company I always use\u2014and the one that works best in the Canary Islands\u2014is <strong>CICAR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to drive or don\u2019t have a licence, no worries\u2014you can always get around by <strong>Titsa buses (guaguas)<\/strong>. Bus number 30 will take you to the Puerto de la Cruz bus station in just over 30 minutes. From there, you\u2019ve got plenty of options to explore the island.
