| The Peak is the most prominent feature of the island. It's covered with fascinating plants and animals. A rain forest covers 40% of it and characteristics change remarkably from one area on the mountain to the next. Our hikes to the top are strenuous and challenging, but incredibly rich and rewarding. Many plants such as Giant Leaf Philodendrons, Bromilliads and Tree Ferns thrive naturally in the clouds that can't easily grow much lower down as they need extra water and don't tolerate bright sun There are gorgeous views on a clear day, but be warned: clear days aren't that common! |
