Raso Bruma - Risquillos Corgo - Raso Bruma

La Gomera

This short and easily accessible route offers a deeply immersive experience in one of the most humid laurel forests of Garajonay National Park. Located in an area frequently enveloped by mist associated with the trade winds, the trail allows visitors to enjoy the purest essence of La Gomera’s monteverde. The constant presence of moisture is evident from the very first steps: trees are covered in hanging mosses, lichens, and epiphytes that wrap around trunks and branches, while the forest floor is carpeted with a dense mix of ferns, heaths, ivy, and mosses, forming a true green tapestry. This exuberance is made possible by the mist that, even in summer, saturates the forest with water and coolness. The path progresses gently until it reaches a natural clearing, where a crossroads surrounded by laurel forest can be found. From this point, magnificent views open out toward valleys and slopes covered in humid vegetation, with a mosaic of green tones that shift according to the light and the density of the mist. This spot forms a small strategic enclave from which visitors may choose to return to the starting point or continue along one of the connecting trails, thus extending their exploration of the Park. This itinerary is particularly recommended on misty days, when the forest takes on a mysterious and silent atmosphere, and the humidity enhances the texture of the mosses and the sheen of the foliage. It is a short walk, yet extraordinarily rich in sensations and biodiversity.

Sostenibilidad
  • Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
  • Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
  • Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
  • Respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
  • It is safer to keep your pet on a lead.
  • Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
