El Copey is Margarita’s tallest hill (900 Mts.). It was decreed National Park on February 27, 1974 and has an area of 7,130 hectares. of semi-tropical mountains. The area receives heavy rainfall from the trade winds. The moisture of the often cloudy mountains facilitates cultivation along the foot hill and specially in valleys and their slopes. Almost every homestead possesses a garden (solar) where the women grow food crops for their family needs. There is a great variety of flora and wild life to explore in this fascinating natural area. You can take a mountain road leads to the summit giving you spectacular views of the whole island and even mainland.
