The island of La Gomera is known for its ancient nature, its peace and safety, its amazing geography full of stunning cliffs with beaches at their feet and, of course, its trails, paths that allow you to visit the varied and beautiful landscapes all over the island.

A natural environment that invites you to enjoy an appealing range of active tourism. Bicycle touring, horseback riding, diving, abseiling or bird and whale watching. Always accompanied by nature

There are more than 650 kilometres of trails across La Gomera, from one end to the other, and they form a network of paths that is perfect for getting just about anywhere. But their purpose goes far beyond being just a place of transit and, of course, they aren’t just for walking along, as there are seven trails that are suitable for cycling. Country lanes and roads in a perfect state of repair complement the paths to create cycling routes through the lush forests and natural parks that characterise the island.

If bikes aren’t your thing, the trails can also be used as a track by athletes: routes to run along with views that are a real gift of nature, such as Garajonay Park, viewing points on clifftops or black sand beaches, the heirs of the volcanoes that inhabited the archipelago thousands of years ago.

Cycling at the peak of La Gomera

The best starting point to get to know La Gomera by bike is its port, located in the capital, San Sebastián de la Gomera, in the extreme east. Here is where the cycle to the peaks of the island starts, a beautiful climb marked by an arid landscape which changes the minute one goes through the tunnel which leads to the valley of Hermigua. Green and lush, the laurel forest is to be enjoyed in all its splendour until the descent to the coast, the famous pescante(davit) and the village of Agulo.
