Tourist Routes of La Gomera
Exploring La Gomera is more than discovering a unique destination: it means becoming part of a new model of tourism—more responsible, more authentic and deeply connected to the island. The walking and cycling routes proposed here form part of La Gomera’s Tourism Sustainability Plan, an initiative that aims to protect what makes the island unique and to share it with you in a respectful, innovative and enriching way.
Along every signposted path, with each step between terraces and forests, you’ll feel how the island welcomes you calmly and openly, yet with a firm commitment to preserving its essence. You play an essential role in this change: by walking or cycling, you reduce your impact, connect with local culture and experience the territory with all your senses.
Walking routes: move in harmony with the island.
More than 600 kilometres of signposted trails are waiting to connect you with the nature, history and spirit of La Gomera. Paths that cross ancient laurel forests, hamlets seemingly frozen in time, impressive ravines and viewpoints with breathtaking landscapes.
All routes are perfectly marked and include QR codes with audio guides that reveal curiosities about the landscape, biodiversity and local traditions as you walk.
Cycling routes: pedal with purpose.
Whether on asphalt or dirt, by road bike or MTB, La Gomera offers a network of cycling routes that combine effort and reward. Landscapes change at every curve: terraced crops, humid forests, dormant volcanoes and wild coastlines.
These routes are part of an island that moves with you—sustainable, healthy and alive. They have been designed for all levels, from gentle rides to demanding challenges for those who want to push themselves further.
With a guide or on your own — the experience is yours
With official guides: discover the unseen
Nothing compares to experiencing a route with those who know the territory best. La Gomera’s official guides accompany you along the way and help you go further:
They explain how terraces are cultivated, what secrets the silbo gomero holds or why certain plants grow only here. With them, each route becomes a deep, meaningful experience.
At your own pace, with audio guides along the way
Prefer exploring at your own pace? Perfect. The routes are prepared so you can enjoy them independently, safely and with information at your fingertips.
All you need is your phone and headphones: scan the QR codes along the way to access audio content that guides you, shares stories and connects you with your surroundings.
Active tourism, conscious tourism.
These routes are more than physical activity. They are a way to:
- Reduce your impact while discovering the island from within
- Support the territory and those who live here
- Explore with respect and allow yourself to be surprised
By following them, you become part of a new way of travelling—more conscious, more authentic and more meaningful.
