Il tiglio che sostituisce l'albero leggendario che dava acqua, su cui i Bimbache contavano durante la siccità, e che ancora condensa l'umidità delle nuvole portate dagli alisei proprio come faceva l'originale finché una tempesta non lo abbatté nel 1610.

This place is absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to the wonderful member of staff who welcomed us. She explained everything we needed to know, answered all of our questions, and fueled our curiosity about the island’s history. She also helped us understand the importance of Garoe and why it holds such a special place in El Hierro’s heritage. It was a real pleasure to learn about one of the island’s most significant historical sites from someone so knowledgeable and passionate. P.S. Despite what Google Maps may suggest, this isn’t really a hike—it’s just a short and easy walk.
Entrance fee is 2.5€ per person, 200metres walk to see sacred tree.
The sign post at the bottom of the road shows that the closing time is 18:00 (see pic) but when we finally got there we found it closed since the actual closing time is 17:00 (see pic). Not impressed.
Small but informative interpretation center annex shop that introduces what you will see at the sacred tree site.
🌳💧 Garoé Tree Trail Walking through the mist and vibrant green of El Hierro is like stepping back into the island's history. Every step along this trail brings you closer to the legendary Garoé Tree, a symbol of life and hope for the island's ancient inhabitants. A place where nature and legends embrace in silence. 🍃✨
