Nice little town and starting point for hikes to the Eye of Los Gigantes. Take your time and sit in a street bar, such lovely people and pure life.

Good footwear is required for the path, at this point it is secured. Not exposed but just quite steep.

View of La Gomera

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Easy circular walk above Tamaimo. You walk on the ridge and have a wonderful view of the gorges of the southwest coast. Mostly easy hike on paths, slightly rocky in the summit area.

Tamaimo to the summit cross Los Missionares and lookout point Guima in the rock. With a subsequent visit to Playa los Guios in Los Gigantes.

Steep climb from Tamaimo. Can only be managed with sturdy shoes. The ground is partly loose and therefore very slippery in places.
