Descrição
The Roque de Garachico is home to birds such as Alma-negra, Painho-da-ilha-da-madeira / Roquinho, Pintainho and Bobo-grande. Although the birds breed on the rock they are hard to observe, as they are mostly getting to and from there nests at night. The rock formation also provides a roost site for wintering herons as well as a resting place for birds that stop here on their long migratory paths. Because the rock is 300 meters from the coast, you need a telescope here to be able to watch birds properly.

Roque de Garachico stands in the sea just off the coast of the town of Garachico. To reach the town, take the TF-42 that links Icod de los Vinos to Buenavista del Norte. Coming from Icod de los Vinos, you will reach Garachico at roughly kilometre 5, and just a few minutes later El Roque will rise ahead of you.
