5Hike through a Dragon Blood Tree Forest

One of the island’s most extraordinary features is the dragon blood tree. Hike through the Fermahin Forest, the largest Dragon Blood Tree forest on the island and be in awe of these weird and wonderful trees.

These iconic trees are so named because of the red sap that’s produced by their bark. The sap is used by locals to make perfume, dye and even medicine. It’s said to be able to heal fractures, gastro disorders and inflammatory conditions.
