THE ISLAND
EL HIERRO
Come to El Hierro, a unique destination located in the most southwestern point of the Canary Islands.
It is a place filled with nature in its purest form: it has been a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve site for the last two decades, and more recently it was included in the Global Geopark Network thanks to its geologic heritage. With environmental preservation as a core policy, the island has become self-sufficient by building its own hydroelectric plant.
Once here, you can visit unique landscapes: ancient wind-twisted junipers, Laurisilva forests and Garoé, a sacred tree that provided life-saving water in times of drought. These settings are extremely well preserved, as close to their original state as possible.
While you might decide to never leave the house
(and no one could ever blame you), there’s plenty to see and do if you venture out.
A car is very useful to explore the island, and if you are not bringing your own, we recommend that you start your search with local provider Bamir.
