La Gomera is an island of the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands, not far from Morocco in the Atlantic Ocean. La Gomera, like the other neighboring islands, has volcanic origins and is considered the second smallest island of the archipelago after El Hierro.
Among the natural beauties of La Gomera there is the Garajonay National Park, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986; The park is home to a wonderful fossil forest that can be found only on a few other islands in the world.
The famous island is also called "La Colombina" because it was the last island touched by Christopher Columbus before the discovery of America. Among the various natural treasures that this beautiful island offers, the viewpoint of Los Roques, the village of Agulo, the natural monument of Los Órganos and the beautiful Gran Rey Valley are undoubtedly worth a visit.
