La Gomera

 

Departure from hotels to Los Cristianos harbour, where the ferry leaves for San Sebastián de la Gomera, capital of the island. The excursion starts at this point, going up to the Garajonay National Park, a true nature reserve of laurel forests and now protected by the Patrimony of Humanity. Stop at the Mirador de Agando with its impressive rock formations. If there is enough time, there will be a photo stop at the Mirador de Vallehermoso, where you get a beautiful view of this region of the island.

Between 13.00 – 14.00 hrs, lunch at Las Rosas or Agulo ( both in the agricultural area). Demonstration of Gomeran whistling at the restaurant. We continue on to Hermigua, set at the bottom of deep ravines. Return to San Sebastián, the place where the last remaining historical fortifications of Christopher Columbus are to be found – the Torre del Conde, the hermitage and the Pozo de la Aguada. Return by ferry to Los Cristianos, and from there, transfer back to Puerto.

Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays they use the Fred Olsen fast ferry (only 30 minutes to arrive)

Mondays-Wednesdays and Fridays they use the Armas boat (takes 1 hour + 20 minutes to arrive)
