Barranco de La Palmita Viewpoint

A central plateau

You are next to Garajonay National Park Visitor Center, in the northern foothills of a high plateau that occupies the entire central sector of the island. You may have noticed that here we do not find the gigantic ravines that characterize Colombina Island. The surrounding territory has a much gentler relief than the rest of La Gomera, with an altitude always above 600 meters.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Respect and look after the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, binoculars and telescopes, etc.).
- Respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths and spaces causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
