Garajonay National Park is a densely forested area on La Gomera, one of Spain’s Canary Islands. Misty and humid, the park has rare laurel forests and many subtropical plant species.

To the east, Mirador El Bailadero lookout has views of the Los Roques rock formations and of the Hermigua ravine.

Fantastic nature. The mist creates a mystic vibe, just walking here becomes like a fairytale. It is usually a bit colder than the lower parts of the island. Take a hoodie, some snacks and water and hike here. The viewpoints are worth stopping by and the nature is amazing. I recommend going up to Alto de Garajonay at night. It is pretty nice for stargazing, celestial photography, or just to be in a nice, isolated, quiet place. Just grab your camera and tripod, or your favorite human, or both. You must have a flashlight, the road is paved and super easy to climb, but it is completely dark. I climbed to the top in about 20 minutes. And when you are at the top of the mountain you will have great view of Teide and one of the clearest...

In Garajonay National Park you will find a lot of walking/hiking path throughout green areas. I visited La Laguna Grande Information Center and started there my hiking day in January 2017.

PS. I would like to rate Garajonay National Park (with all facilities) by 7 yellow stars,...

A superb area - once you get there. Plenty of marked walks. The roads are surprisingly good, if somewhat steep with plenty of twists and turns. Check the web cam before you go. Travelling up from the coast, the views are stunning. Quite interesting changes in vegetation as you ascend. The sound of bees in the 500 to 600 metre zone is amazing. Above that, the vegetation thickens. It is almost like driving in parts of Wales or Scotland, especially when the clouds are swirling around. It was around 8c at the top on two of our visits. Much better when we walked to the peak, sights of El Hierro, La Palma, Tenerife and Gran...
