PLEASE BRING PASSPORTS. A full day crossing by ferry with Fred Olsen to La Gomera. We toured the Garajonay National Park, one of the best-preserved laurisilva forests in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, with a stop at the Roque de Agando viewpoint. We eat a fantastic typical Canarian menu included in the price and enjoy a live demonstration of Silbo Gomero, a unique whistled language in the world. We end in the historic center of San Sebastián de La Gomera, with more than 500 years of history linked to Christopher Columbus's journey to America.
Your experience
Stop 1
We left from your hotel at approximately 7:00 AM with destination to the Port of Los Cristianos. The ferry from the company "Fred Olsen" awaits us there, which will take us to San Sebastián de La Gomera, the island's capital.
Stop 2
Once in La Gomera, we will take the south route and make a brief stop near the Roque de Agando, one of the natural symbols of La Gomera: an imposing volcanic rock formation that rises above the landscape of the national park, with spectacular views of the island's ravines.
Stop 3
We will continue to the heart of Garajonay National Park, which contains one of the most important and best-preserved laurel forests in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. We will take a walk through a unique ecosystem, a direct heritage of the subtropical forests that covered southern Europe millions of years ago.
Stop 4
We will continue our route through Agulo, a beautiful northern municipality open to the Atlantic Ocean, with the peak of El Teide always present in its landscapes. This municipality is the smallest on the island of La Gomera, nestled at the foot of a great basalt wall and forms a beautiful green "balcony" over the sea. This town is considered "The Bonbon of La Gomera" thanks to its undeniable charm and its well-kept appearance. Agulo is full of pleasant cobbled streets and beautiful tiled houses with self-sufficient gardens around them.
Stop 5
We will return to the island's capital, San Sebastián, a city full of culture and tradition. Where will we have free time to walk around the capital of the island, with a historic castle of more than 500 years linked to the passage of Christopher Columbus, who made his last stop here before sailing to America in 1492.
Stop 6
Visit the Torre del Conde, considered the best-preserved colonial Spanish fortification in the Canary Islands. Built in the 15th century to defend the island, it is one of the oldest historical buildings in the archipelago.
Stop 7
The church of Our Lady of the Assumption, where we can delight in the result of the mixture between Gothic and Canarian style, a true museum of sacred art; the hermitage of San Sebastián, built around 1530, or the so-called Casa de la Aguada, with its well, from which legend says Christopher Columbus took the water with which the new continent was baptized. San Sebastián de La Gomera keeps the island's patroness, the Virgin of Guadalupe, in its hermitage of Puntallana, who every five years goes out in procession to all the municipalities of La Gomera, attracting thousands of faithful and curious people to its festivals. San Sebastián is an exceptional place that has very good samples of its past. Sprinkled with beautiful constructions of traditional Canarian architecture, with architectural examples that will reveal its great religious, social, political, and military activity that have been the protagonists of this settlement of more than five centuries old.
