About this experience

We propose a day trip to Garajonay National Park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The visit will focus on Christopher Columbus's trips to La Gomera during his voyages to America, the places where he lived and stocked up for his journeys, the reasons for his stay on this particular island, and, of course, the rich biodiversity of the Laurisilva Forest in the center of the island. We will visit the island's capital, San Sebastián, and the key locations where Columbus had his romantic affairs with Beatriz de Bobadilla: the Casa de Colón, which houses a rich exhibition of pre-Columbian sculptures brought from America; El Pozo de la Aguada, where the water that baptized the new continent was drawn; and the Torre del Conde, the last and best-preserved military fortress in the Canary Islands. In short, an essential tour through history, focusing on the role this small city played in the conquest of the American continent.
