Garajonay National

Rated 3.9 Stars, based on 117 Reviews.

La Gomera is one of the geologically younger westward Canary Islands. It is an enchanted place where time seems to have stopped. The island features an intricate maze of valleys, gullies and canyons surrounded by basaltic rock formations. La Gomera is home to a unique example of Atlantic cloud forest, called laurisilva. It is a primordial forest with 30-metre-tall trees, evergreens, ferns and mosses. The laurisilva is an ancient, mystical forest capable of inspiring a sense of deep bond with nature and the world that once was.

The natural areas of La Gomera are the very essence of the island. Discover endless trails, breathtaking viewpoints and charming hamlets in a privileged natural setting. La Gomera is full of charming places: picturesque hamlets among ravines in the middle of nature, villages with traditional and rural architecture and historic buildings of great importance due to their Columbian past. A fantastic Canarian menu is included in the price and you will be lucky enough to listen to the live silbo canario. The silbo gomero is a whistled language practised by some inhabitants of the Canary Islands to communicate across ravines.
