View of Roque Ojila, Roque Agando and Mount Teide

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the weather is good, not only La Gomera shows itself at its best and most beautiful, but also Tenerife and the summit of Teide. Here you can see the entire length of Tenerife. Always worth a trip to this place.

Ancient Laurel Tree

Highlight • Natural Monument

Don't be confused by the information at the starting point... You don't get to the summit, but walk parallel to the road through the rainforest. 😉 But it's very Hansel and Gretel-like...

View of the Roques de Agando

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint is one of the most spectacular on the island of La Gomera. The Roque de Agando is a most impressive geological formation, and being surrounded by three protected natural spaces (The Garajonay National Park, the Los Roques Monument and the Benchijigua Intregral Nature Reserve) the views from it are impressive.

Roque de Agando

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is an incredible volcanic neck or plug. It belongs to the natural monument of Los Roques and marks the beginning of wonderful excursions, for example to Playa de Santiago.

August 2, 2022,Rund um El Cedro

Actually we wanted to go through the tunnel. You can see one end and the other in the pictures. After we had climbed over two cliffs and then stood in front of muddy water with a queasy feeling in our backs, through which one would have had to wade bent over, we decided to take the sweaty, very beautiful detour.

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to cross the tunnel and there is no official sign indicating this. It appears to have collapsed inside and there is no sign that it will be made passable again.
