Hiking

The Laurisilva, laurel silver forest, is probably one of the oldest virgin forests in Europe. Lichen hang from the trees, and when the clouds move through the woods and play light and shadow on knotty branches and trees, it becomes fairy-tale.

Safe in the jungle without tigers or huge snakes 😊. At some point, however, you have to force yourself to go further.
