Las Rosas - Raso del Quebradón - Las Rosas

This is a medium-difficulty circular route through the interior north of La Gomera, starting and ending at the Amalahuigue Reservoir, an area surrounded by terraced farmland and humid forests. The itinerary passes through several notable areas of Garajonay National Park and ecological transition zones that showcase the full botanical richness of La Gomera’s monteverde forests. The trail begins at the reservoir, located in an environment of gentle slopes and mixed vegetation, and ascends towards Cruz de Tierno, a natural mountain pass between ravines where old paths converge. From here, the route continues towards Raso del Quebradón, a forested area often shrouded in mist, with the presence of laurel forest, heather, fayas and giant ferns. The route then continues through Serpa, an isolated rural hamlet that preserves traditional buildings nestled among the vegetation, adding significant ethnographic value to the route. It then reaches La Palmita, another small settlement set between ravines, where terraced crops and palm groves define the landscape. From there, the trail continues towards Raso Volteado, a wide forested area combining tracks and footpaths under the shade of the monteverde, ideal for walking at a relaxed pace, birdwatching or enjoying the quiet, humid atmosphere. Finally, the route returns to the Amalahuigue Reservoir, completing a perfect loop to discover the green heart of northern La Gomera. This route is ideal for those seeking a circular forest trail, away from large crowds, offering a perfect balance between nature, rural culture and interpretative hiking.
