La Gomera Excursion Tenerife

Few places in the world have the natural wealth of this circular volcanic island, highlighted by its singular prehistoric character. The variety and contrasts of the Gomera landscape are surprising.

After El Hierro, La Gomera is the smallest of the Canary Islands, with a surface area of 378 square kilometres, approximately 10 percent of which is covered by the Garajonay National Park which has been declared a Mankind Heritage Site by UNESCO.

A walk though charming little villages will take you through the rugged terrain, with surprises in store around every bend in the road. La Gomera`s deep-rooted customs and history should be savoured slowly: stopping in the villages, talking to the people, understanding the typical whistles the locals use to chat from one side of the gorge to another, trying the culinary specialities or losing yourself to the rhythm of the dance of the drums.
