허미과‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

A stunning waterfall and the hiking trail leading there. Highly recommended.

The area around the highest mountain of the island (Alto de Garajonay 1487m) represents a unique ecosystem. Different laurel trees, ferns, holly and tree ferns up to 15 m high grow here.

A tip? Unfortunately, it is overcrowded on weekends and holidays due to the nearby car park. If you only drive to the car park and then walk to the summit in 10 minutes and then don't take a circular hike up here into the forests of the north and the maquis of the south, you haven't gotten to know the island...

We walked the red route to the waterfall at the beginning of November 2023. There was a lot of water and we balanced from stone to stone so as not to get wet feet. That was no problem. However, you should be careful that the rocks in the area where the rope hangs that you can pull yourself up on can be slippery and that you need some stamina. Unfortunately, we had to watch the use of a rescue helicopter from very close up. An elderly woman had had an accident there. The tour guide on the island tour had already told us that this is not an easy hike.

It's wonderful to splash around under the waterfall and you can also find a place to have a picnic.

This special rock wall towers above the green valley. Unique view from this point.

You can see this impressive rock while descending to San Sebastián la Gomera, there is a viewpoint worth the stop to feel the immensity of the valley

Every vacationer on La Gomera must have seen the Roque de Agando!
