Roque de Agando

Roque de Agando rises 1251 meters above sea level, featuring vertical grey basalt walls that extend 220 meters on its southern face.

Archaeological evidence reveals that the indigenous Guanche people established sacrificial shrines at the summit before the arrival of European settlers.

The formation belongs to Los Roques group, serving as a central geographical marker and natural symbol of La Gomera island's identity.

Access to the rock requires taking a ferry from Tenerife to La Gomera, followed by driving along the main road connecting San Sebastian to Garajonay.

The rock's distinctive geological structure resulted from selective erosion, leaving behind a resistant volcanic plug while surrounding materials weathered away.
