Corona Forestal Natural Park, Nature reserve in La Orotava, Spain.
Corona Forestal Natural Park is a nature reserve on Tenerife covering thousands of hectares with multiple forest types at higher elevations. The terrain includes dense pine stands and mountain vegetation zones that vary depending on altitude and slope exposure.
The reserve was created to preserve traditional farming methods and maintain ecological balance, particularly regarding the Güímar valley area. This decision reflected an effort to ensure sustainable land use in the region and protect vulnerable habitats.
The park serves as a space where local communities maintain their connection to the land through traditional farming practices in designated areas that remain active today.
The park is accessible via the TF-24 road through La Esperanza, with multiple entry points depending on your destination and route preference. Local information services can help with navigation and current conditions.
Southern areas support specialized plants like euphorbia balsamifera and elephant cacti adapted to drier conditions, while higher elevations host savin junipers and wild olives. This contrast shows how different habitats exist within the same protected space.
