Garajonay was declared a national park in Spain in 1981 and it became a Unesco world heritage site in 1986. Garajonay boasts the largest laurel forest in the Canary islands archipelago and occupies up to one-tenth of the total surface of La Gomera. Garajonay is La Gomera´s top tourist attraction and the reason why many tourists enjoy a day excursion from Tenerife to La Gomera.

This is a park that, unlike others in which access to views and scenery demand long walks and stamina, offers many lookout points and picnic areas.

Mount Teide is actually a dormant volcano. When it was active the volcano scarred the surrounding landscape as it spewed lava, creating beautiful rock formations and creating a unique ecosystem.

The last significant eruption that occurred was in 1909, but Mout Teide still lets out the occasional plume of smoke and steam, reminding everyone that it is by no means a dead volcano, but merely a resting one.
