Yacimiento paleontológico Bujero del Silo

Yacimiento paleontológico Bujero del Silo is a unique paleontological site on the island of La Gomera. This natural volcanic cave, located at an altitude of about 700 meters above sea level, hides priceless fossils from the Pleistocene and Holocene periods.

The site offers a fascinating insight into the island's prehistoric fauna, mainly through preserved bird remains. Of particular interest is the lack of traces of native land mammals, suggesting that La Gomera was not naturally colonized by mammals until the arrival of humans.

For lovers of geology and paleontology, this is a real scientific gem for understanding the processes of evolution and extinction of species in the island territories.
