Most tourists come to Homer from the island of Tenerife and do not stay longer than one day. The main attraction of the island, for which it is so appreciated by tourists, is the pristine nature: gorges, mountain peaks, laurel forests ... for many travelers visiting the island, all this fully compensates for the lack of long sandy beaches.

Come to Homer and not whistle - a great omission! Long before the invention of the phone, the local population communicated and communicated with each other through a unique whistle language . In case of danger or hunting, this whistle (silbo) could easily replace them with mobile phones (after all, it was heard for a distance of up to 4 km) . Simulating whistling with the help of the tongue and leaving the lips and fingers immovable, the local population created a whole dictionary of "silbo" . Now this language is not used in everyday life, but is gladly demonstrated to the delight of tourists .
The pristine nature of the island is the main thing The interests of Homer.

Amazing Homer

Garahonai National Park

Garajonai National Park was created to preserve the relict vegetation on the island. Here, thanks to the constant light mist formed during the collision of cool Atlantic winds with warm breezes, one can imagine how the Mediterranean forest looked before the last ice age. About 450 species of rare trees and plants have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1986.

Laurisilva is an ancient laurel forest in the depths of the park, where trees reach a 20-meter height. Ducks are shelters for many species of rare birds, including a long-fingered Canarian pigeon. Los Roques - volcanic formations (Zarsita - 1236 m, Carmen - 1140 m and Agando - 1250 m), located outside the park. The best panorama opens with Mirador el Bailadero. Laguna Grande - a great place for a halt during walks in the park. There is a nice restaurant, a children's playground and picnic places. Photo Homer (15)
