It was created by Arturo Scherrer (1881-1956), a textile merchant, avid traveler and lover of art and culture. The park, filled with lush subtropical vegetation and a variety of buildings and works of art from around the world, was bequeathed to the municipality of Morcote by Scherrer's widow in 1965, with the explicit desire to open it to the public. This Eden, set in an impressive world of subtropical flora including palms, camellias, wisterias, oleanders, cedars, cypresses, camphor trees, eucalyptus, magnolias, azaleas, oranges, lemons, bamboo and many species of fragrant flowering plants, attracts and enchants every visitor. The park is also open for cultural and artistic events, which are always a great success.
