Los Marteles Nature Reserve / Nature Parks and Reserves
Benefiting from an approximately central location in Gran Canaria, the Los Marteles Nature Reserve neighbors upon 8 municipalities: Santa Lucia, Aguimes, Valsequillo, San Mateo, San Bartolome, Ingenio, Tejeda and Telde. Some of the highlights of this reserve refer to the wild olive forests, but people studied in this field should know how to duly appreciate the consistent biodiversity of the place. Thus, more than 50 endemic species grow here, enhancing the scientific interest drawn by the place. Besides the biological worth of the reserve, the venue offers great tourist experiences, at least for visitors keen on nature beauty, since the place is one rewarding array of stunning landscapes yielded by the mountainous topography pegged out by sundry other geological formations.
