Jardin de Orquideas de Sitio Litre

About

The Historic Orchid Garden, Sitio Litre, is a jewel on the island of Tenerife, located in the heart of Puerto de la Cruz. Set beside the original mansion built in 1730, the garden boasts one of the finest collections of native and exotic orchids in the Canary Islands, with paths winding through fragrant species, lush greenhouses, and tranquil water features. Visitors can stroll through the meticulously curated plots, taste fresh supplies at the café and sit in the shade of the island’s first botanical gardens. In addition to the botanical wonders, the garden offers a charming brunch or breakfast menu. Open daily from 10:30 to 14:00, the menu is prepared on site and includes classic Spanish pastries, fresh bread, fruit juices, and a selection of teas and coffees. Access to the gardens is included with the brunch, though the visitor may also enjoy the garden free of charge without a meal. The site also hosts painting workshops, where guests can explore their artistic side under the guidance of professional artists. The workshops are a highlight for families, couples and solo travelers alike, providing a unique blend of nature and creativity. Whether you’re a horticulture enthusiast, a foodie looking for a relaxed brunch, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Sitio Litre offers an unforgettable experience steeped in history and natural beauty.
