Description
Hike over the highest point of La Gomera to the Green Heart!
To the Green Heart via the highest point of the island! After the ascent we are rewarded by the fantastic view of the “Pico del Garajonay”, from where we hike down into the national park. On this botanically guided hike we receive information about the relations between mosses, lichen and trees in this unique tropical mountain forest, the world cultural heritage of mankind. Passing the bestknown pilgrimage chapel of the island, we reach the Green Heart of La Gomera; we have short breaks at both places. The hike ends at an old sough, where the bus is waiting for us (no opportunity for a break at a restaurant).
Highlights
- Come and discover with us one of the last remaining primeval forests in Europe.
- Discover subtropical plant species with us in the Grarajonay National Park.
- Let this unique and ancient environment take you back in time.
