Hiking

Vallehermoso is the starting point of this circular route in La Gomera. You can easily access it by bus or with your own vehicle. To fully enjoy this experience, it is advisable to have some experience on routes of similar distances; However, you can always adapt the pace and intensity according to your needs and preferences. Don't forget to carry water and a snack in your backpack to maintain energy along the way. Get ready to live an unforgettable adventure!

This Route takes you through a valley where clouds trapped by the trade winds nourish the earth, creating lush vegetation. Here, you find a variety of endemic trees, such as the viñátigo and the laurel.

During the first four kilometers of this route, you face a demanding climb with slopes of up to 24%. However, the reward is the spectacular views you get from Alto del Lomo Flores, an experience that makes the effort worth it.

The hermitage of Our Lady of Coromoto is presented as a haven of peace in the middle of the road. It is the perfect place to rest, regain energy and delight in the wonderful panoramic views that surround you.

I invite you to take a short detour that takes you to the Montaña de Alcalá viewpoint. From this point, you see how the sea caresses the majestic mountains at your feet. It is a scene that is sure to leave you breathless.

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The path from Vallehermoso beach to the Montaña de Alcalá viewpoint is steep, but lovingly laid out. During the journey, it is worth turning around often to enjoy the panoramic views. On one side you have a view of the green valley, on the other side you can see the sea and the Teide in Tenerife.

March 28, 2026,🇪🇸 La Gomera: Runde von Vallehermoso über Santa Clara
Today a quick round from Vallehermoso through the Teselinde massif on the high trail to Cumbre de Chijeré.

Very beautiful, varied hike with a strenuous ascent through a hot cactus landscape. Ignore the first detour, here we got lost for a moment.
The entrance is at the cemetery on the right.


In the upper part, a small section of forest protects you from the sun. At the top of the plateau we continue, with changing earth colors and …

Today we leave the damp green forests behind us and hike in a drier environment. A long climb took us up to the Santa Clara chapel, which was built on a ridge, from where we could enjoy the breathtaking views into the depths and over the peaks to the coast. We then climbed down a well-developed but very steep path …

Hike is moderate to difficult depending on your fitness level. Definitely use sunscreen, there is little shade. Wouldn't reverse the tour either because the descent has even less shade. But everyone can decide that for themselves. In any case, this hike is worth it! Have fun!

Tour 3/6. Today I'm leaving the damp green forests behind me and hiking in drier surroundings. A long and sweaty climb takes me zigzag up to the Santa Clara chapel, which was built on a ridge. From there and the next few kilometers I have breathtaking views into the depths and over the surrounding peaks all the way to Teide …

A great round near Vallehermoso. First the valley on very green paths to the end of the valley and then up to the Eremita with chickens and cats. The further way through the red landscape and then steeply down with a magnificent view. And it was dry too.
