Garajonay National Park

November 06, 2021
Garajonay National Park is located in the center and north of the island of La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands. Laurel forest covers some 70% of this park. The presence of springs and numerous streams assures a lush vegetation resembling that of the Tertiary, which, due to climatic changes, has largely disappeared from southern Europe. It was declared a national park in 1981 and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. It occupies 40 km2 and it extends into each of the six municipalities on the island.
