Walking in La Gomera

We recommend starting your holiday by flying to Tenerife. There, you can take local transport to the Puerto de los Cristianos, where the ferry to La Gomera departs (route not included). Watch out, as you may encounter dolphins during this ride.

The day starts with a short transfer to El Cedro, where you will begin your walk amid beautiful landscapes, towards the Garajonay National Park, the green heart of La Gomera. Here you will delve into a tropical atmosphere, with a dense laurel forest covering most of the northern part of the island.

The walk will be made through ferns, mosses and lichens. And once at the top, you will enjoy the view of the whole island and its surroundings: La Palma, El Hierro and the imposing volcanic peak of Teide in Tenerife.

The day ends with a brief descent to Chipude.
