El Cedro Forest & Waterfall
Bosque de El Cedro
The most pristine laurel forest area in Garajonay National Park, where streams flow year-round. A trail leads to El Cedro Waterfall, the largest on the island.
El Cedro lies in the northeast of the national park and is one of the best-preserved laurel forests, with streams flowing year-round, a rare feature in the Canary Islands. From the small village of El Cedro, a trail leads through moss-covered forest to the Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes. Another path descends to El Cedro Waterfall, which drops about 100 meters, and continues down to the Hermigua Valley. Some trails are steep and slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. Free. The village has rural restaurants serving local dishes.
