Garajonay is also geology. Domes, rocks, deep valleys and cliffs are the manifestations of its ancient volcanic roots that erosion allows us to see.
Garajonay is a cultural space where some of the largest sanctuaries of the ancient inhabitants of La Gomera are preserved.
Garajonay is a very small National Park, with a surface area of less than 4,000 hectares. It is surrounded by other protected natural areas, but it also leaves out important areas of laurel forest of extraordinary value. Its expansion could guarantee the conservation of the splendid La Gomera forest massif.
Suggestions for your visit:
We recommend that you go accompanied by officially accredited professionals who interpret the natural and cultural heritage.
Always ask for information before visiting the national park.
It is home to animals and plants that are fragile, unique and vulnerable.
We want it to remain what it is today: an ancient forest that survives over time.
The ecological processes that occur there are vital for the island and its inhabitants. We recommend a calm and admiring visit.
Appropriate clothing and footwear make for a more satisfactory and safe visit. If you have any questions about this, we will resolve them for you.
