Guided Walk in the Garajonay National Park.
We take you along the most beautiful trails and areas so that you can get to know this unique forest.
We will meet at the Bus Station in San Sebastian de La Gomera and we will head to the center of the island until we reach the Garajonay National Park.
We will begin our hiking route near Roque de Agando, an impressive volcanic neck that stands at the entrance to Garajonay.
From the viewpoints of Los Roques we will enjoy fantastic views before entering the National Park. Under a dense crown of enormous trees we will cross the ancient laurel forest with its exuberant vegetation, sometimes enveloped by trade wind clouds creating a mystical atmosphere.
Passing by the Hermitage of Lourdes in the heart of the forest, we will follow the course of a stream until we reach the El Cedro farmhouse.
We will return uphill and then descend abruptly through an area of laurel forest full of mosses and lichens.
After having enjoyed about 4 to 5 hours of walking excursion, we will return in our transport to San Sebastián de La Gomera.
