Things to see and do La Asunción

The place is protected because of its historical importance. It was here on 31 July 1817 that the indépendantistes won a strategic battle against the Spanish. The northern hill is that of Guayamurí; the south, the Matasiete. But children will tell you more about the history and nature of the places…

Access. Two kilometres away on the road from La Asunción to Puerto Fermín.

All activities in the national park must be authorized prior to Inparques.

This park (7 130 ha) does not hold its name from the political party but the large amount of copey, this yellow and white flower that thrives there. It is also a natural drainage centre that collects the waters and distributes them in neighbouring villages. This is the peak of the island (950 m). The road in Sierra to access is splendid. A huge ficus welcomes you at the entrance. A barbecue is available. Its microclimat, gentle and misty microclimate will make Porlamar's suffocating heat, where the temperature can reach 35 ° C.

Access. Take the Road road in Asunción towards La Sierra. You are only 950 m above sea level but, from here, your gaze can kiss 80% of the island at the peak Palma Real, 15 minutes from the park entrance.
