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.
