Agulo - Juego de Bolas - Agulo

This is a medium-difficulty circular route that ascends from the historic village of Agulo to the Juego de Bolas Visitor Centre, in Garajonay National Park, and then descends back to the starting point. Despite its short length, it is physically demanding due to its steep elevation gain, but highly rewarding thanks to its panoramic views and interpretative value. The route starts in the centre of Agulo, a charming village with cobbled streets, surrounded by terraced fields and palm trees. From there, the trail ascends along the emblematic Camino del Chorro, a stone-paved path that zigzags up an almost vertical hillside. As elevation is gained, spectacular views open up over the Agulo Valley, the Atlantic Ocean, and Mount Teide in the background, making this section one of the most striking on La Gomera. After completing the ascent, hikers reach the Juego de Bolas Visitor Centre, the main information point of Garajonay National Park, surrounded by interpretative gardens, viewpoints and rest areas. It is the perfect place for a break before starting the return journey. From this area, it is also possible to access the popular Abrante Viewpoint, featuring a glass-floored platform. The descent back to Agulo follows secondary agricultural tracks, surrounded by mid-altitude vegetation and traditional orchards. The route ends once again in the village, completing a short but intense loop. This route is ideal for hikers looking for a short, challenging experience with outstanding views, perfect for a half-day activity or as a complement to other routes in the area.
