Garajonay: Itineraries
In this page:
The best way of getting into the Park and enjoying its beauty and exuberance is on foot. The footpaths in the park are ancient ways along which the Gomerans went from one place to another on the island, although, with a different purpose from ours: we walk them for sheer pleasure, while they did so out of need. The footpaths which are described here and which feature in a table with their characteristics are the best and most advisable in the Park. Nevertheless, they can be combined or joined one to another or with other footpaths, both inside and outside the Park to the taste of each person, in such a manner that each visitor can decide on his own trip. We advise that you use the maps on this page for planning.

Garajonay National Park´s Path Network
Self-guided footpaths
If you wish to enjoy the footpaths by knowing the natural treasures of the forest and you wish to do so at your leisure, soon, you could download in this website the self-guided routes either audio-guides in English language (to use with your mobile phone) or printing them from a Pdf file
(only available in Spanish language). The self-guided routes will explain you the most important aspects (history, evolution of the landscape, ecosystems…) by means of numbered stops along the footpath.
Download audioguide (It is suitable to unload it before coming to the Park because inside him it is not coverage)
Footpaths of the park and its surroundings
The National Park has its own network of footpaths but these are in turn part of the network of footpaths on the island. The main footpaths on the island network located in the park and its surroundings and which on occasion coincide partially with one of the walks in the park are:
Circular paths
Linear paths
Educational activities
Garajonay National Park has a permanent environmental education program for local people but also any group, association or partnership may request, in advance, a guided tour, lectures or other knowledge-related activities and Park nature.
Managed by the Cabildo Insular de La Gomera there is a Nature lodging facility in El Cedro village, near the park, designed to accommodate groups for conducting environmental education activities.
Near the Aula, the park has an Environmental facility called Taller Ambiental, an ideal place for educational group activities to take place.
For booking activities online go to the OAPN Central de Reservas.
