Laurisilva Forest of La Gomera

Highlight • Forest

Like something out of a fairy tale, the high level of humidity that can be trapped in the dense forests of La Gomera, creates the perfect conditions for the Laurel tree, also called Laurisilva, to thrive in this subtropical environment.

Our 7th hike on La Gomera was once again a highlight. The ascents and descents, mostly on forest paths, were easy to walk. When thick fog came up in the afternoon, the forest became a magic forest, as often described 🎃👻🧞‍♂️ Komoot had a couple of dropouts during the recording, so part of the lap can be seen as a …

Very windy up there. On a clear day, you can see the three neighboring islands.

Today's tour first went down into the laurel forest. I wasn't sure if the tour is good as it often runs close to the main road, but the traffic noise was very limited. There was a nice atmosphere in the forest. After the Hermitage of Lourdes, a stone road slowly led up again. After crossing the main road, the path …

Because it was so beautiful, we took another trip into the cloud forest by bus. This little trip even had a stream running through it. Incredibly beautiful and like in a fairy tale. Unfortunately we were a bit pressed for time because we wanted to catch the bus at 3 p.m. because we wanted to go swimming. Well, unnecessary, we …

A nice hike in the middle of the Garajonay. Lots of shade for sunny days. The course can be done in both directions, depending on your athletic ability and fitness level.

First, it was a long, steep descent - mostly using steps. I was glad I had taken this direction; the path mostly runs through the shady laurel forest, so a jacket is advisable. The ascent then gets warmer, even if it is not quite as steep as the descent, but it seemed as if it would never end. In the …

A decent and athletic hike.
It's nice that most of the tour is in the shade.
Clouds often roll in up here in the national park. It's humid, foggy, and usually quite chilly. But that can be a relief when it's 39 degrees Celsius down on the coast.
Occasionally, the entire national park is closed due to strong winds and/or …
