Garajonay Natural Park- Rocks and legends

With a total area of about 7490 m², the Canary archipelago comprises several islands. A good reflection of its natural wealth is La Gomera island.

The landscape of La Gomera is filled with large straight lines of rock that outline it from coast to summit.

The main highlight is the Garajonay Natural park, located in the center of the island, is the highest peak of La Gomera. 

The park includes important woodland areas of Laurel forest and Canary Island Pine trees, as well as dry open country areas, cliffs, offshore rocks. The area is often surrounded by clouds which brings a magical aspect.

The nature here is just unreal, the higher we went up the mountains the colder it got.

We passed through slender palm trees, imposing rock faces, terraced fields, small mountains and villages.

Serpentine roads and breathtaking views.

Due to the isolation conditions, typical for the island ecosystems, the nature here is unique.

Like an artist sketchbook, La Gomera is filled with shapes, silhouettes, profiles, figures… The erosion of the outer crust of the volcanoes that arose on the island has been going on for so many years that it has generated very varied shapes across the length of the island.

The beauty of the park-impressive rocks, ancient forest-absolutely breathtaking.

The park has a large number of viewpoints and recreation areas.

Roque de la Zarcita

Extraordinary nature.

Amazing environment.

The park offers the best example of the Canary Laurisilva forest, a humid subtropical forest.

Laurisilva-the mysterious fairy tale forest of laurel trees.

The whole area around the park is very well developed. From here the visitor is given wonderful insights into this unique natural landscape of La Gomera.

Valley of Vellehermoso and the green banana plantations, small vineyards and potatoes cover large part of the area.

The impressive volcanic landscape offers hikers resting beautiful accommodations.

Agulo is considered to be the most beautiful village of La Gomera, particularly appealing by its old buildings and winding streets.

We could even see Teide and the lovely small village of Agulo.

Hermigua is situated between high mountains chains and the beautiful valley.

The beaches of Hermigua offer a welcome access to the sea.

Garajonay Natural Park is well worth the visit, it is impossible to tell about this beauty.
