Floresta Laurissilva
Floresta Laurissilva
Laurissilva is the name of the natural forest of Madeira and that long ago could be found in large areas of Europe (Central and Mediterranean Europe and North Africa). When the Portuguese discovered Madeira the Laurissilva covered most of the island but nowadays it is almost exclusively on the north side between the altitudes of 300 and 1300 metres. This subtropical forest has great importance from a botanical and scientific standpoint and that is why UNESCO classified it as World Heritage.
