Cicerone - Walking On La Gomera And El Hierro

Cicerone - Walking On La Gomera And El Hierro

45 day walks and treks for all abilities

This guidebook features 27 walks on La Gomera and 18 on El Hierro. There are routes of all types, from easy strolls to long-distance trail, and they include the Garajonay National Park on La Gomera and the World Biosphere Reserve of El Hierro.

Although they are two of the smallest islands in the archipelago, La Gomera and El Hierro both feature a number of walks. The former's rocky exterior surrounds a gentle higher terrain; the latter is home to striking volcanic slopes and pine forests. The Canary Islands have long been known as subtropical sanctuary for sun-seeking holidaymakers. Less well known is that they also boast an array of varied landscapes including mountain treks, rugged cliff coasts and dense forests.

The guide contains 1:50,000 mapping and detailed navigational description for every walk across these islands, as well as practical information including how to get there and when to go.
