La Gomera, Volcanic island in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, Spain.
La Gomera rises 1,484 meters above the Atlantic Ocean, forming a circular landmass with steep cliffs and deep valleys spanning 370 square kilometers.
Christopher Columbus selected San Sebastian de La Gomera as the final supply point for his first voyage to America in 1492, gathering water and provisions.
The Silbo Gomero language communicates through whistles across valleys, allowing messages to travel up to 5 kilometers through the mountainous terrain.
Six municipalities connect through a network of roads, with San Sebastian serving as the main entry point for ferries from Tenerife island.
Garajonay National Park contains a prehistoric laurel forest ecosystem that existed before the Ice Age, now protected as UNESCO World Heritage.
