Why walking holidays in La Gomera?
On his voyages to the New Continent, Christopher Columbus used to stop in La Gomera to refuel and recharge his batteries before setting off on his Atlantic crossing. Who would have thought that 500 years later, La Gomera would be the object of desire of modern discoverers: hikers.
There are not many places in the world that, in such a small space, have such a rich and valuable natural ecosystem. La Gomera has recently been recognised as a Biosphere Reserve. It has a National Park of enormous botanical value and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
La Gomera, the last foothold for Columbus before crossing the unknown seas, is today an island appreciated by hikers from all over the world. An island where time seems to have stood still and which preserves extinct landscapes, vanished ways of life and forgotten legends. These coexist with charming settlements of multicoloured hamlets, whimsical manifestations of nature and a special light that varnishes the whole.
Hiking tours in La Gomera
This is an island of very ancient volcanic origin. The passage of time has allowed erosion to act, gradually diluting its contours. From its central plateau, rising 1,300 metres above the sea, a system of deep ravines spreads out radially, reaching every corner of the island.
These ravines connect the villages and hamlets by the sea via winding paths. The paths ascend towards the central plateau, descending on the opposite side. And along the way, they show the island’s enormous biodiversity, both botanical in origin and its autochthonous fauna.
The hiking routes on La Gomera offer unparalleled diversity. The laurel forests, ancient botanical remains from the Tertiary period, are plant relics from a distant past that have survived to the present day. The huge palm groves in the southern valleys, besides their beauty, are useful for the island’s economy thanks to palm honey. And the terraces and terraces on the northern slopes are cultivated in the traditional way with all kinds of products from the land.
All these diverse landscapes can be enjoyed walking through the ravines on the countless hiking trails on La Gomera walking week. In our one-week programme, we have selected the 5 most characteristic routes.
