La Gomera

Accessible only by boat, La Gomera is a peaceful alternative to the large resorts of the main four Canary Islands. Located a short ferry ride away from Los Cristianos on Tenerife, La Gomera is a paradise for nature lovers with walking trails zigzagging over its verdant terrain. Visitors can enjoy diverse scenery including steep cliffs, craggy rocks and breathtaking valleys, which display the effects of the island’s volcanic nature. Explore the unspoilt winding roads and whitewashed villages of La Gomera and you will discover the best kept secret in the Canary Islands.
