Paseo de los Hercas

The route turns south following the path of an incipient ravine. The geological youth of El Hierro makes the network of ravines still undeveloped. It especially highlights the presence of ferns on the margin of the road. The most abundant species is the common fern or eagle fern. It is one of the most common fern species on the island, its fronts - the name that the leaves of the fern receive - can reach two meters. It is a fern that tolerates light and some heat, so we find it in this area of the forest with less moisture.
