The estate contains a broad diversity of high mountain and foothill environments of the Teno Massif, from laurel forests and fertile farm land, on the northern slopes, to the ridges and broom brush that covers the southern part of the estate. All together, it encompasses sites of enormous ecological and scenic value that are protected and managed by the park.
