La Gomera Hiking & Trekking Tours

Summit Garajonay peak at 1,487 meters for panoramic views of Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro, and Gran Canaria, then head down past the Ermita de Lourdes pilgrimage chapel along the year-round Arroyo del Cedro stream. The 6-kilometer Vallehermoso basin crossing takes you past Roque Cano's imposing cliffs. Tackle the 8-kilometer Valle Gran Rey trail from Arure, dropping 875 meters to the Atlantic coast.

Eight days of hiking cover diverse volcanic terrain, including the Roques de Garcia circular trail at Mount Teide (Spain's highest peak at 3,718 meters) and walks through the laurel forests of Garajonay National Park. The route follows the rugged northern coast from Hermigua past the Roque Blanco and Roque Cano formations, down through papaya and mango fields, and completes the GR131 trail with 1,025 meters of descent to San Sebastián. Daily walks range from 4 to 14.5 kilometers with moderate ascents up to 735 meters through pine forests, abandoned coastal settlements, and tropical botanical gardens.

You'll trek 13km through Barranco de Monteforte to find El Chorro waterfall dropping 175m down the cliffs, then climb 1,250m up through moss-covered laurel forest in Garajonay to reach La Gomera's highest point. The Red Wall hike above Agulo takes you up 1,000m through layers of volcanic rock.

Daily walks cover 5 to 14 kilometers through La Gomera's varied terrain. The challenging 10-kilometer Barranco de Guarimiar ascent gains 500 meters through steep, palm-lined gorges. The 14-kilometer Chijeré ridge trail gains 730 meters from Vallehermoso valley, then you'll summit Alto de Garajonay at 1,487 meters for views across the Canary archipelago. Walk through UNESCO-protected laurel forests in Garajonay National Park, descend alongside Cedro stream to Hermigua's waterfall, and cross volcanic landscapes dotted with the iconic Roque de Agando monolith.

You'll do 3-hour treks through Garajonay's UNESCO-protected laurel forest with 300m climbs to La Gomera's highest peaks, where Tenerife's Mount Teide (3,718m) sits across the water. Coastal paths from Hermigua to Agulo pass 300m rock faces and stone terraces, then Valle Gran Rey's gorge leads down to beach.

Walk the Path of the Gods through Garajonay National Park's ancient laurel forests, where centuries-old trees create a tropical rainforest atmosphere 1,000m above sea level. Descend steep barrancos into the Hermigua valley's terraced fruit groves, then tackle the challenging 735m ascent to Santa Clara chapel with its 700m cliff-edge views. The route covers varied landscapes from arid cactus-covered coastal paths near El Teide viewpoint to the palm-filled Valle Gran Rey gorge.

The climb to Garajonay peak at 1,487m is La Gomera's highest point and on clear days you'll see Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro, and Gran Canaria from up there. After that, you'll walk through UNESCO-listed Garajonay National Park where ancient laurel forests line the Arroyo del Cedro stream.

The rugged trails wind through laurel forests and coastal paths. Daily walks of 2-5.5 hours cover 4-14km with elevation changes of 150-770m on varied island terrain.

The GR 132 coastal trail runs 7.5km from San Sebastián to El Cabrito bay, climbing 375m above jagged Atlantic rocks. After that, you'll trek 11km through deep barrancos and past old ghost-town ruins to Playa de Santiago, then head up 890m through terraced palm groves to Alajeró.
