Hiking on La Gomera through idyllic Canarian villages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today’s hike on La Gomera takes you to the north of the island. On the 14 km long tour there is much to see. You start the La Gomera hike in the hamlet of Pie de la Cuesta below the village of Tamargada. Then you hike uphill through small Canarian villages to the town of Las Rosas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there we continue through the cloud forest up to the Ca\u00f1ada Grande. After a round trip, which also takes you past the large Juego de las Bolas visitor centre<\/a>, the way back takes you through the lonely mountain villages of La Vega and Simancas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On La Gomera it is exactly like on the sister islands El Hierro, Tenerife, La Palma and Gran Canaria. Due to the trade wind, which also rains down the trade clouds on the slopes, the vegetation in the north of the island is green. There are cloud forests, palm groves and countless terrace fields. But there is also a downside for hikers. Sunshine does not always prevail in the north. Hikers often have to reckon with clouds, if not even with extensive rain showers.<\/p>\n\n\n
