Discover the sense of well-being that comes from the natural surroundings of La Gomera.
My name is Anahí, and I’m a mountain guide and local guide on La Gomera. After years of guiding people along the island’s trails, I discovered that Forest Bathing offers a deeper and more authentic way to share this land and connect visitors with nature.
Gomera Bienestar offers you a guided Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) experience, a practice internationally recognized for its benefits to physical and emotional well-being. Far from a conventional hike, this activity invites you to slow down, walk at a leisurely pace, and awaken your senses to consciously connect with your surroundings.
The experience takes place in carefully selected areas within the Garajonay National Park, surrounded by La Gomera’s unique laurel forest.
Through simple sensory prompts and moments of contemplation, each person discovers the forest at their own pace, while learning about its biodiversity, history, and conservation value.
With no demands or goals to meet, the forest becomes a place of calm where you can disconnect from the noise of daily life, reduce stress, and reconnect with yourself.
A different way to discover the essence of La Gomera and take home an authentic memory that lasts long after the trip is over.
