In the morning you meet your guide at the San Sebastian bus station. Get in the car, relax and enjoy the views as you head to the Garajonay National Park.
We will start our hike near the "Roque Agando", an impressive volcanic piton that stands at the entrance to the "Garajonay" National Park. From the viewpoints of Los Roques we will enjoy fantastic views before entering the National Park. Under a dense crown of huge trees we will cross the ancient laurel forest with its exuberant vegetation. Passing by the "Ermita de Lourdes" in the heart of the forest, we will follow the course of a stream until we reach the "El Cedro" village. Here the forest opens up and suddenly we have spectacular views towards the Hermigua valley. We will walk back uphill and then we will descend steeply through an area of laurel forest full of mosses and lichens. We will return to San Sebastián along the northern road that allows us to enjoy views of the northern ravines of La Gomera.
