The island is also rich in its endogenous flora and fauna ... some of them unique to only some places of the island. Through the floralis site, we'll take you for a trip in one of the nature reserves of the island, Mondrain - and you'll get the opportunity to get some useful information on many endemic plant species of the island that are safely preserved there.
