LA GOMERA - SEA KAYAKING + THE AMAZING "SHEPHERD'S LEAP" AND THE "WHISTLE".
Let's explore the island's wild coastline by kayak. We'll stop for swimming and snorkeling at Iguala beach and enjoy a picnic. This 3-hour activity uses stable kayaks that are easy to handle, even without prior experience. In the afternoon, we'll switch gears completely: led by Fernando, an island resident, we'll learn two of La Gomera's characteristic ethnological traditions. The first is the spectacular "Salto del Pastor" (Shepherd's Leap), which involves traversing the steep mountains using a wooden pole for support. The second is "Silbo," a whistled language that allowed shepherds to communicate with each other over long distances... and which is now taught in schools and has been declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The highest point on the island is Garajonay Peak, which we reached after a short climb. The 360º view is magical. The islands of El Hierro, La Palma, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria are visible on clear days. We visited the magical Los Roques de Agando (1050 m) during our descent. A volcanic phenomenon of its kind with its imposing chimneys. Our descent continued, and we arrived at the small village of La Laja (500 m), nestled at the bottom of the San Sebastián valley, giving the impression of a village at the end of the world. A short minibus transfer took us to San Sebastián, and we returned to Tenerife by ferry. Overnight in Tenerife.
