La Gomera - south of the island

Tenerife has its charm, but if you want to see what the Canary Islands are like without crowds or large tourist complexes, it's worth crossing over to the neighboring La Gomera. Quieter, greener, more intimate. An island that doesn't try to please anyone, and precisely for that reason, it leaves such an impression.

Ferry Crossing

We arrived on the island on a modern ferry from Fred Olsen. The journey itself is part of the day; it's not just a means of transport.

Hermigua Valley and the Aloe Plantation

The visit begins in the Hermigua Valley, one of the greenest areas of the island. Along the way, we pass by plantations of bananas, papayas, and avocados, small towns, and landscapes very different from what you see from a hotel balcony in Tenerife. In the valley, we visit an aloe plantation: you can learn more about this plant, see how it is cultivated, and also buy local products.

Garajonay National Park

One of the most unique places on this route. A laurisilva forest declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, humid, green, and sometimes shrouded in mist. It feels like another era, with an atmosphere unlike anything you can see in Tenerife. Many ancient legends of the island are also associated with Garajonay.

Lunch and Silbo Gomero

The program includes lunch at a local restaurant featuring typical Canarian dishes, wine, and dessert. Additionally, there is a demonstration of Silbo Gomero, the traditional whistled language declared Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. It is a unique way of communicating over distances, passed down in La Gomera from generation to generation.

San Sebastián de La Gomera

The visit also includes the capital of the island. It was here that Christopher Columbus stopped in 1492 before setting sail for the New World. The program includes the Casa de Colón and the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption.
