With its black cliffs, deep ravines and jagged peaks, La Gomera isn’t short on scenic hiking routes. It’s also easily explored on foot, with marked trails of varying difficulty all across the island. One of the best routes – if you’re up for a challenge – is the 10.5km (7mi) hike from Pajarito junction to Hermigua, via the highest point on the island, the 1,487m (4,879ft) Alto de Garajonay.
