Description
Área recreativa de La Caldera is a picnic area located near the village of La Orotava. It is part of Parque Natural Corona Forestal, the largest protected area in the Canary Islands. La Caldera is the starting point for numerous trails that are in its surroundings. You can make a very nice circular walk through the surrounding forest. But before you do, check out the arena-like playground surrounded with picnic tables and wooded slopes. The trees and food left behind at the pinic tables under the trees attract many birds. This is a very good spot to observe Kanári-szigeteki királyka. Also Erdei pinty, kanári füzike, kanári and afrikai kékcinege. If you make a forest walk in the area you have a chance to encounter szürkefejű babérgalamb, fehérfarkú babérgalamb and kék pinty.
