Last stop of the tour was the Palmetum of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a 40,000 sq ft botanical garden specializing in palms. It is an artificial hill on a former landfill which includes a large system of waterfalls, streams and ponds, a museum dedicated to palms, and a display shade house. This picture shows how the former landfill was utilized with “degassing wells” to vent the gasses from the decomposing trash.
