Descriptions
We will leave from Los Cristianos Port in Tenerife and take the ferry to San Sebastián de La Gomera, capital of the island. There we will take the bus to visit our first stop: the Hermigua Valley.
We will continue the tour, passing through La Palmita and arrive at the village of Agulo. There you will have time to have lunch in a traditional restaurant and, if available, see a live demonstration of “silbo gomero” (the communication art of whistling from La Gomera).
After lunch, we will begin to ascend to the Garajonay National Park, a laurel forest paradise and a natural reserve declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. There we will make a special stop at the Laguna Grande, where you can explore the surroundings, where it is said the ancient witches of the island used to meet.
On the way back we will stop to admire the imposing Roque de Agando, an impressive and steep volcanic lava formation. Finally we will return to San Sebastián, where you can see last historical strongholds of Christopher Columbus’s passage before his departure to the American Continent, such as the Torre del Conde or Casa de Colón.
