Garajonay National Park
Garajonay National Park, National park in La Gomera, Spain.
The national park spans 3,984 hectares of land covered with laurel forests, fire trees, and diverse rock formations at altitudes between 790-1,400 meters.
The Spanish government established Garajonay as a protected area in 1981, and UNESCO designated it as a World Heritage Site in 1986.
The dense valleys of the national park influenced the development of silbo Gomero, a whistled language used by locals to communicate across distances.
Visitors can explore the park through 18 marked hiking trails connecting different sections, with a visitor center providing orientation and educational materials.
The forest contains specimens of Laurus azorica and Laurus novocanariensis, creating a subtropical ecosystem that once dominated Southern Europe millions of years ago.
