Full description

Travel back in time on a tour from the south of Tenerife to the nearby island of La Gomera. Discover an unspoiled island lost in time, so beautiful and fascinating you will want to stay forever. Catch the fast ferry to San Sebastián de La Gomera. Then, drive from the capital through the valley of Hermigua toward Garajonay National Park. Travel through the forest of “El Cedro” and marvel at its unique vegetation. Enjoy lunch at the top of the island while watching a demonstration of how the locals perform their unique whistling language called "Silbo Gomero." Formerly used as a means of communication on the tiered crops of the elevated terrain, the language is still taught in schools to this day. On your way back, pass through "Chipude" and "El Cercado." Admire the impressive rock of "Agando." Learn the history and culture of San Sebastián, and see the church of Asunción where Christopher Columbus prayed before his journey to the New World.

Why send a description of the stay with pick-up at the hotel when you report that you are in Puerto de la Cruz Do not send messages on Watsup but putty by SMS. We had to ask for the explanations at the reception of the hotel, we had a doubt.

It was a well organized tour with a three course lunch which was perfectly ok considering the cost of this tour. La Gomera is a nice place and it was fun to see what contrasts were on the island with such short distances. The roads the bus used must have been fairly new so it was a good ride despite these height differences.

Very nice excursion, the guide (Marcel) is very nice. The pick up is great, they come to our hotel to pick us up in the morning and bring us back to the same place in the evening. We recommend this excursion for those who want to see the island of La Gomera.
