Reopening of Forestal Park after the Arafo Candelaria Forest Fire
Welcome back to Forestal Park Tenerife!
First, we would like to thank everyone who has supported us since the Arafo Candelaria forest fire started on the 16th of August 2023, the expressions of affection have been a great driving force to keep going. Also, infinite thanks to the extinguishing media that fought the fire in Tenerife, but especially in the Llano de Las Lagunetas, because without their action, today we would not have the opportunity to announce that the time has come to reopen our doors.
It has been a difficult journey, but thanks to the hard work of our team and the support of everyone, we are ready to open our doors and offer you an unforgettable experience in the middle of nature.
Effects of the forest fire Arafo Candelaria
Next, it should be noted that for the moment the Fuerteventura, La Graciosa and La Gomera Circuits are not operational. Therefore, there is a new challenge for Forestal Park Tenerife to reinvent itself. In this first phase we will start with the circuits that are at full capacity with a human team that is brimming with energy to make you live a unique adventure.
On the other hand, we will be considering phases of restoration of both the Monte de La Esperanza where we are located and our facilities. Now more than ever we must unite to carry out an alternative forest management that protects our forests.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy a day full of fun and adventure in a stunning natural environment. Our team is excited to welcome you back and make sure you have a memorable day in our park, and we look forward to seeing you from Saturday 23rd September 2023!
