Solo hiking 132km on La Gomera (Canary Islands)

Impression of my trip to La Gomera (Canary Islands) in the first week of March 2020. I spent 6 days in total, walking 132km, mostly along the GR131 and GR132 trails. It’s a wonderful island, perfect for walking, taking you from barren rocky canyons to lush laurel cloud forests, and from secluded pebble beaches to quaint colorful villages. Enjoy the trip.
I made a complete hiking guide video for this trip: • Hiking Guide - La Gome...

A very well made video. You really bring the tranquillity of the place to us.

Fabulous filming. Also, love the music as it gives the impression of peace and tranquility which is what I like about walking alone.

Hello, how difficult is it to find budget long term appartments to rent for winter?

@JabberKiwi Жыл бұрын

@@wilhelmsvideon9206 Hi, it is not easy to find (cheap) apartments lately. If you don't want to pay the "tourist" prices you need to rent for 6 months minimum. And you can't be sure to find something when you arrive here. Cheap hostels/pensions cost about €25 - €35 per night, shared bathrooms.

Wow, great doc you made there. Very nice shots and angles. I walked there 10 years ago (only 60km) and recognize many spots, There is one place, (I can't remember the location), it was so strange, the environment changed from hot dessert with cacti, into damp misty forrest in about zero meters. It was so so strange. You were walking into a different world instantly. It was a wonderful trip. and I can see you had a wonderful trip as well. Thanks for sharing.

@LennartSchoors 5 ай бұрын

The south is a little more arid, but the main difference is between the higher elevations in the center and the coastlines. You should see both! Did you see my hiking guide video as well?

I'm so envious. I love hiking but have an absolute fear or paranoia about solo camping. I really dont know how to overcome it. Thinking someone will attack me. I'm missing out on such adventures. 😢 Thank you for a wonderful video 🙏

@LennartSchoors 3 ай бұрын

Wow, that's a pretty wild scenario. That pretty much never happened, ever, but that's the thing with fears of course - they're irrational. It still happens that my heart gets racing when I hear strange sounds at night, but every single time, all is well, and I get back to sleep. Start small, with friends, or in a garden, and build up from there!
