Things to do in La Gomera, Canary Islands: The Best Nature & Parks

April 7, 2022 Marianna Hollaway

One of the seven Canary Islands, sun-drenched Gomera is one of the less visited of this Atlantic archipelago. Offering the perfect escape, Gomera's attractions include dramatic beaches, trails through tropical mountain scenery and misty rainforest. Hike the mysterious Garajonay National Park or mountainous Cumbre de Chijere. Soak up the sun in scenic Valle Gran Rey or on Puerto de Santiago's pretty beach. Popular with the yachting crowd, Gomera is reached by air or ferry from the other Canaries.

Garajonay National Park

A misty rain forest full of mystery and romance: great for hiking.

The whole National Park is a treat to visit and explore. Well worth a visit but you would be missing out just visiting the once! The varied flora and fauna is lush and beautiful with well marked trails fit for all abilities, with long distance trails crisscrossing.

Alto de Garojonay

A scenic tropical mountain lined with hiking trails.

Reviewed By DTM56 - Cambridge, United Kingdom

The walk we did from the main centre is about 11km and billed as 4 hours, but I think most people would not take that long. There is a quicker option to park much closer to the peak - I'm guessing that might be a 4km circuit - but whichever way you do it, the last part is going to be steep. The views from the peak, though, are really tremendous and worth the effort. From this spot you can see the entire island of Gomera, but we also had a great view of Tenerife and Mount Tiede. This was one of the highlights of our week in Gomera and I would definitely do it again.
