Los Tilos Rainforest on La Palma is one of the Canary Islands’ most evocative laurel forests, where centuries of volcanic activity carved dramatic ravines and moss-draped trees still whisper with condensation. The protected reserve preserves a lush, mist-wreathed ecosystem of laurels, ferns, and moss that feels suspended between legend and reality. For The Witcher, these emerald slopes provided a tangible stand-in for the Continent’s wild woodlands, infusing scenes with a sense of ancient magic and rugged isolation. Today, visitors wander a living cinema backdrop where sunlight filters through dense canopy, waterfalls murmur over lava rock, and rain-scented air invites quiet reflection and cinematic imagination.

The Witcher filmed across the Canary Islands; volcanic landscapes, lush forests and coastal cliffs represent parts of the Continent.
