LA GOMERA
La Gomera is the second smallest island in the Canary Island group. It’s only 375 km² and is located in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of North Africa.
Thankfully, it has managed to escape mass tourism. The whole island is a place on
unspoilt natural beauty with dense forests, black-
Although it’s very close to the equator (where it’s very hot), it still has an incredibly lush green landscape and a mild year round climate with average
temperatures of around 22ºC. This is
mainly due to the gentletrade winds
and cool Canary currents.
Like the other islands in the Canaries,
La Gomera is volcanic in origin but
there hasn’t been an eruption for over
two million years.
The original inhabitants of the islands
were Guanches; Berbers from the mountains of northwest Africa. They invented a completely unique method of communication called “Silbo”. It was a kind of whistled speech used to communicate across the massive valleys.
La Gomera attracts hundreds of trekkers and walkers each year. There’s a network of paths crossing all over the island displaying a fantastic variety of landscape with rocky peaks, fossils and volcanic chimneys like “Roque de Agando”. On route you’ll also see a wide range of flora and fauna.
With no airport La Gomera is reached by flights to Tenerife and then via ferry or Hydrofoil.
