La Gomera

La Gomera: Nature and magic

The island of La Gomera is of volcanic origin. The absence of eruptive activity for the last 2 million years and a climate that favours water erosion have created a craggy relief riven by deep gullies and overshadowed by impressive volcanic domes, known locally as Roques.

650 kilometres of trails

La Gomera has a network of over 600 kilometres of mysterious trails where you can lose yourself and feel like a child again.

 

Silbo Gomero

This pre-Hispanic whistling language is part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of the world thanks to UNESCO. Even today you see people communicating with whistles.

 

World Biosphere Reserve

The island was awarded World Biosphere Reserve status in 2011, in the excellent category, thanks to the pristine nature of its marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
