La Gomera is a green and lush island with a lot of vegetation. You will find the biggest national park in the shadows of the big mountain Garajonay. The mountain is creating a big misty area where the vegetation will flourish from the high humidity. You can hike on small trails leading through the mountain side of this jungle and experience the amazing view. The temperature can differ here by more than 10 degrees compared to the sea level.

The weather phenomenon “Calima” occurs on average three times per year and is a warm wind from Africa which brings a lot of dust from the Sahara desert. This phenomenon can last for several days up to one week. Usually this will result in extreme high temperature and bad visibility due to all the small sand particles in the air.
