The trip "Exploring La Gomera - 8 Days" starts from Los Cristianos, Tenerife and ends in San Sebastián de La Gomera. It is a walking tour that takes 8 days taking you through Chipude, Vallehermoso, Agulo and 5 other destinations in Spain. "Exploring La Gomera - 8 Days" is a self-guided private trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Experience the lush plantations, mountains and whitewashed villages of exotic La Gomera. If you want traditional Spanish atmosphere with an island twist and year-round pleasant temperatures on your next walking holiday, don’t think twice: La Gomera is the place to go.
From sea level with its exotic banana plantations, walk up through the rocky landscape to reach the unique 'laurisilva' cloud forest that covers the top of the island. This is the start of a perfect weeklong walking holiday if you want to be alone with nature. The scenery keeps changing as you walk down through magnificent ravines to the warm, sunny coast… and then climbing again through hidden tiny settlements and towards awe-inspiring views of volcanic ‘chimneys’.
Due to its volcanic origins, La Gomera’s scenery is very dramatic. Whether you’re walking inland or along the coast, there is very little flat land, with deep ‘barrancos’ cutting into the island.
Average temperatures vary by just a few degrees between winter (19°C/66°F) and summer (25°C/ 77°F), so you will see (and taste!) an impressive range of tropical and citrus fruit. They typically grow on ingeniously built terraces on the steep valley sides, which may remind you of places in Southeast Asia or Hawaii.
In just 8 days, this walk will introduce you to the beautiful scenery and friendly people of La Gomera.
