With a temperate climate year-round, the island offers a network of scenic trails that traverse steep rocky coasts, lush valleys, and volcanic terrains. At its heart lies the Garajonay National Park, where ancient laurel forests shrouded in mist create an enchanting and otherworldly experience. Limited tourism allows visitors to explore this unspoiled haven, enjoying authentic local culture and cuisine in peaceful, picturesque villages along the way. Our walks highlight the diverse terrain and natural beauty of La Gomera, making it a premier destination for hikers of all levels.
