Island tour of La Gomera from Tenerife

Get ready to travel to the incredible La Gomera, one of the most beautiful place of the Canary Islands. This is the island from where Christopher Columbus set sail for the new world and where you will find an unspoiled island lost in a time warp, so beautiful and fascinating you will just want to stay there forever.After being picked up at your hotel in southern Tenerife, you'll take a ferry to the Capital San Sebastián and travel through the valley of Hermigua towards the Garajonay National Park, passing through the beautiful forest of “El Cedro” which overlooks its unique vegetation.You'll then climb up to the famous Mirador Abrante and have lunch on the highest spot of the island. From there enjoy the view over the Atlantic and facing Mount Teide in Tenerife, whilst being shown how the locals can communicate through whistling. This whistling language is still taught to this day in schools and was very useful on the tiered farms on this very elevated terrain.On your return, descending the Island, you'll pass through Chipude and El Cercado and marvel at the impressive Agando rock and seeing the church of Asuncion where Christopher Columbus prayed before his journey for the New World.
