Difficulty
This hiking program in La Gomera may be suitable for you if you are a sports person and have a good physical background; if you can go up and down steep slopes and have no health problems; if you love nature, are environmentally friendly and regularly go hiking.
Protected by its steep cliffs and guarded by its enormous rocks, La Gomera stands as one of the best-kept natural treasures of the Canary Archipelago. A biosphere reserve, its 370 square kilometres contain some of the greatest biological diversity in the Atlantic, and its forests have been catalogued as living relics of the Earth dating back to the ice age.
The Gomeros consider themselves to be the oldest people in the archipelago and pride themselves on living on an island that has never been conquered. This strength of character can be felt in the “silbo gomero” or in their strong traditions that give the island an atmosphere of freedom that is unique in the world. Formed by underwater volcanic eruptions, La Gomera has a perfect orography for hiking and adventure in nature. Its reliefs, valleys and ravines rise up to give hikers a beautiful, challenging landscape that allows them to have one of the most beautiful experiences in the world.
Hiking in around the island of La Gomera through its relief allows us to walk through
landscape that that seems to have been frozen in stone and gives us a sensory experience to reconnect with nature. The natural parks of La Gomera have a rich diversity of terrains and microclimates that are a paradise for hikers. An untamed land that has remained untouched for millions of years to give us memorable moments.
We can witness first-hand the sea of clouds that covers the island, an impressive natural spectacle that makes La Gomera one of the most popular hiking spots in the world.
...and transfer by your own from the airport to Los Cristianos harbor (transfer not included).

Day 2
Garajonay National Park: Alto del Contadero - Hermigua
From the Alto del Contadero, the PR LG 3 trail takes you through dense laurel forests with vegetation typical of the Tertiary Era and surrounds you in a magical-looking plant world.
The trail descends steadily through twisted trunks and giant ferns until you reach El Cedro, a village of just 7 houses nestled in the laurel forest.
After the obligatory break and socialising with other hikers in the Las Vistas Restaurant, the descent continues along the Barranco del Cedro ravine, ending in Hermigua, a northern village with an agricultural tradition that boasts "the best climate in the world".
9,1 km | + 5 m / -1.125 m

Day 3
GR132 - Hermigua - Vallehermoso
We now follow the route of the GR132, from Hermigua to Vallehermoso, crossing "all that north" on foot. A route that introduces you to the day-to-day life of rural Gomera and offers spectacular views towards the neighbouring islands of Tenerife and La Palma.
The GR132 first looks for the beach of callao de Hermigua and then climbs progressively towards Agulo, an idyllic little village that lives outside the tourist development of the south of La Gomera.
The climb up the Agulo ridge takes you to the Mirador de Abrante, an impressive overhanging viewpoint with breathtaking views of the Pico del Teide.
After reaching the highest point at Cruz del Tierno, the trail begins a relentless descent to the foot of Roque Cano, a spectacular monolith and unique icon of Vallehermoso.
16,7 km | + 1.125 m / -1.040 m

Day 4
Las Hayas - Valle Gran Rey
After a 40-minute drive to Las Hayas, an enclave of houses near the National Park famous for the stews of the legendary "Doña Efigenia", the path leads to Arure and begins a spectacular descent through the palm grove of Valle Gran Rey.
The upper part of the ravine is full of herds of goats, grazing peacefully in their protected enclosures. And as you go further down, the little houses are interspersed, forming an idyllic setting that ends next to the sea, in La Calera.
Valle Gran Rey was a stronghold of the Guanches in ancient times. Later it was the hippies who found their paradise in the valley. Today structured tourism has invaded the coastal areas, although a stroll through the narrow streets of La Calera brings back that feeling of the authentic flavour of a fishermen's neighbourhood.
...And in the Playa del Inglés you can enjoy a refreshing swim after your route through the south.

TOUR LOCATION
For 5 days and 4 nights we will travel the most beautiful routes of La Gomera and we will enter a paradise and a lost world that remains one of the most iconic landscapes of world hiking. We will visit the oldest laurel forests in the world, the most majestic rocks in the Canaries and routes that will take our breath away. We will be bewitched by the beauty of its ports, the steepest cliffs in the archipelago and one of the most important nature reserves in the western hemisphere.
In the capital of La Gomera, San Sebastian, this hotel is located in front of a beautiful park where we find the historic Torre del Conde. In the area surrounding the hotel, a swarm of pedestrian streets offer an interesting range of gastronomic and leisure activities. The historic centre of the city offers old buildings that reflect the time when Christopher Columbus visited the island on his voyage to the New World.
The rooms enjoy views of the park; they are well equipped for the enjoyment of two nights in La Gomera and enjoy all the necessary tranquillity, despite the hustle and bustle of the city.
The hotel cafeteria is located on the ground floor for breakfast.
HOTEL RURAL TRIANA
Vallehermoso, in the sunny northwest of La Gomera, is the location of this small rural hotel with 11 rooms. The building was an old manor house that has been carefully restored. It has adequate and comfortable facilities and a cafeteria in the pedestrian area.
Warm wooden floors and carefully decorated rooms create the ambience in every room. Vallehermoso, with a population of just 3,000, is a haven of peace in a beautiful, sunny valley. The municipality is located just over 150 metres above the sea and enjoys a pleasant climate all year round.
HOTEL JARDÍN CONCHA
Small hotel located in the neighbourhood of La Calera, in the sunny municipality of Valle Gran Rey. This is an area of tiny streets and traditional buildings, once a refuge for poets and hippies. The hotel Jardín Concha offers marvellous views of the sea and a permanent enjoyment of the extensive palm groves in the lower areas.
Simple but bright and well-equipped rooms, with balcony-terrace to enjoy the extraordinary sunsets over the valley.
In the vicinity of the hotel you will find small craft shops, remnants of the bohemian atmosphere of the past.
Additional overnights
It is also possible to book some additional days, before or after the hiking week, or an additional week to relax.
Difficulty
To successfully achieve the 3 walks it is necessary a good physical condition, steady walk and lack of vertigo. According to the year season, temperatures can be extreme (hot and/or cold). Therefore, it is necessary to have suitable warm clothes permanently, to be removed as layers if necessary. Some parts of this trail include passages with slippery loose stone. Although most of this trail is roomy enough, certain sections are quite aerial and require caution. Using hiking poles is highly recommended.
Trails
The Canary Islands has a well signposted network of trails. All sections where from our tours are perfectly marked. In addition to the detailed map of La Gomera, you will get from us precise indications of each route and assistance from the hotline on your walks.
We recommend
Appropriate hiking clothing and sturdy footwear. During the tours, it is necessary to have food and drink enough, as well as sun protection, a cap, wind jacket and, in the winter months, warm clothing.
Luggage transfer
We move your luggage from one accommodation to next, so on your hikes you should only carry a backpack with the essentials of the day. For the whole trip, it is recommendable to use a single suitcase, not bigger than 20 kg.
You can book at any date!
