Hiking
The forests in the park are a relic of the Tertiary subtropical laurel forests that were also common in Europe and the Mediterranean (Southern Europe, North Africa and Southwest Asia). While these plants disappeared in Europe during the ice ages (in the Mediterranean area during the last ice age), this plant community was able to survive in part on La Gomera, on the other Canary Islands, as well as on Madeira and the Azores (Macaronesian Islands).
