About Alto de Garajonay
In the heart of the island of La Gomera is the Alto de Garajonay, another of those beauty-laden places located in the northern part of La Gomera, in the municipality of Vallehermoso. The Alto de Garajonay is a watchtower from where you can enjoy stunning night views of the sky, the absence of light pollution allows you to enjoy the universe and perfectly distinguish the constellations.
El Alto is located at an altitude of 1487 meters above sea level and it is possible to see from here the island of La Palma, El Hierro and Tenerife Island of Gran Canaria.
The curious situation of the Alto de Garajonay in Vallehermoso has meant that this point of La Gomera is wrapped in a certain halo of magic, traces can be observed of sacrifices of pre-Hispanic origin. At one time it was known as El Bailadero because it was believed to be a meeting place for witches.
Up to Alto de Garajonay can be reached by car or by walking through the multitude of paths that run along the island and reach this point.

With this route it is proposed to visit the main places of the Garajonay National Park. To do this, we start in Agulo, in order to be able to go first to the Game Information Center for Balls, where we will have a first perspective of the Park. The route will start from there, along the western part of Garajonay, with views of Vallehermoso, and through the Laguna Grande, always in the direction of Alto de Garajonay. Then we will descend by the east side, towards the Bailadero and the Hermitages of Lourdes and Our Lady of Guadalupe, before taking the road towards San Sebastián de la Gomera.
