Walking the trails of La Gomera is a unique and unrepeatable experience in any other destination in the world. Time has frozen the island’s relief to give us an eternal, marvellous and unforgettable landscape.
A sea of clouds formed by the thermal shock between the warm oceanic waters and the freshness of the Gomeran valleys preserves the majesty of the island. This natural dome envelops a paradise that has remained untouched for millions of years and that today we can walk through to marvel at its splendour.
Majestic rocks have risen up like guardians that nature has frozen to look after the spectacular geography of La Gomera and protect the oldest natural forest in Europe. La Gomera is a World Heritage Site and the most beautiful biosphere reserve in the Atlantic.
This small island can be explored from one end to the other on stunning hiking trails through various microclimates ranging from the most rustic to the most beautiful plains in the world.
Entering the laurel forests of La Gomera gives us a wonderful prehistoric landscape that precedes paths surrounded by the most demanding slopes that invite us to conquer them.
Along the routes we can hear the echoes of the mythical “silbo gomero” that still echoes among the rocks and bounces eternally as an intangible heritage of humanity.
