What to expect
El Pajarito is a location on the island of La Gomera, in the Canary Islands, Spain. It is a starting point for hikes through the Garajonay National Park, which preserves one of the few remaining laurel forests in the world. The park is characterized by lush green vegetation, laurel-like evergreen trees, and giant ferns, and is home to a variety of wildlife, including the Blue Finches that are endemic to the Canaries. The trails in the park offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the sea and the silhouettes of nearby islands. Visitors can hike through the forest, exploring the unique ecosystem and taking in the beautiful scenery. The area is also home to a number of scenic viewpoints, including the Alto de Garajonay, which offers breathtaking views of the island and the surrounding waters

Beautiful hiking on La Gomera with children
Activities: We walked a part of the trail. The plan was to explore the southern, drier edge of the National Park. We saw a 'almost extraterrestrial forest landscape'
Highlights: We enjoyed the scenery, however we didn't reach the promised viewpoints. The article says that in 2014, the area was just starting to recover from a forest fire. We enjoyed the otherworldly landscape ✨
