La Gomera has 17 Protected Natural Spaces and 5 special bird protection areas called ZEPA. These are areas that ensure the conservation of endemic avifauna and endangered species. Birdwatching requires patience and love of nature, as it is done while hiking the more than 600 kilometers of marked trails that can be found in La Gomera. It is a very relaxing activity for which it is necessary to take binoculars and a telescope, food, drink and suitable clothes for walking, in colors that camouflage us against the vegetation if possible.
