Experience a cloud forest with all your senses. Breathe the misty air and listen to the birds sing.
  • Feel the rejuvenating power of nature as you step into the heart of Garajonay National Park.

  • Hike through the jungle amidst verdant flora from El Contadero to Reventón Oscuro.

  • Experience the unique ecology of laurel and cloud forests, from moss and lichen to vibrant green ferns.

  • See the Ermita Nuestra Señora de Lourdes and walk through the clouds at Reventón Oscuro.


Starting from El Contadero, walk along the forest path among sturdy evergreens and mossy ground cover. The perennial stream, El Cedro, will flow alongside you for most of the journey. Along the way, you’ll pass a small chapel, the Ermita Nuestra Señora de Lourdes. Cross the misty Reventón Oscuro and reach La Zarcita, where the bus is waiting to take you back to port.
