An interpretive walk through the "medianías" (medium mountain areas) of the South

Discover the southern medianías of La Gomera through an experience that brings together nature, culture, and authentic rural life. Two complementary itineraries lead you from the emblematic Alajeró dragon tree to the spectacular natural balcony overlooking Guarimiar, revealing a territory where landscape, traditions, and ways of life intertwine in a truly unique way.

The first route connects botany, natural history, and the island’s cheesemaking heritage in a close, meaningful, and engaging walk. The second route blends local gastronomy with an exceptional viewpoint — the perfect way to experience the full intensity of southern La Gomera.

A complete, accessible, and authentic experience for travellers who want to discover the real La Gomera, far from the usual circuits.
