Located in the Atlantic Ocean, La Gomera is one of the seven main islands of the Canary Islands. It is an island of volcanic origin, although the last eruptions occurred about two million years ago.
Travel to La Gomera is back to a remote past full of surprises to discover.
La Gomera is the island that best preserves the traditions of the pre-Hispanic inhabitants. You can still see to craftswomen in the mud mazapé or loceras that manufacture ceramic pieces identical to that used Aboriginal people, without lathe, helping only boulders and small wooden instruments.
The dance of the drum or Tajaraste uses the same chácaras and drums encountered Europeans when they reached the island and the hectic dance run the dancers has not changed for centuries.
Another important tradition is the vaulter in the ravines, accompanied by language silbo which consists of an authentic whistled language with which it is possible to communicate long-distance, using only his mouth and fingers (declared a world heritage site).
When you visit La Gomera is a foray into nature. The National Park of Garajonay, declared patrimony of humanity, also houses a jewel of the tertiary period: the Laurissilva forest.
The island has hundreds of endemic plant species and animals, which makes it rich in biodiversity.
