How to get to La Gomera
and the El Cedro forest<\/span><\/span><\/h1>

Nearly everyone crosses by boat from Tenerife. Then it\u2019s about 40 minutes by car, with a final stretch of track through the forest: the part of the trip our guests talk about most.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Most people fly to Tenerife South<\/strong> airport and take the ferry from the port of Los Cristianos<\/strong>. The crossing to San Sebasti\u00e1n de La Gomera<\/strong> takes about 50 minutes and there are several sailings a day, also with a car.<\/p>\n

By plane<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

La Gomera airport<\/strong>, in the south of the island, has Binter<\/a> flights from Tenerife North<\/strong> and Gran Canaria<\/strong>. From the airport to the house it is also about 40 minutes by car<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Once on La Gomera: the car<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

You will need a car to reach El Cedro and explore the island. You can cross on the ferry with your own or one hired in Tenerife, or hire one directly on La Gomera, in San Sebasti\u00e1n or at the airport.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The last few kilometres, through the forest<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The end of the road is a narrow, cobbled forest track with two-way traffic. Many guests describe it to us as an adventure. To enjoy it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The first time, come in daylight.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Keep the instructions downloaded<\/strong> that we send you before you arrive. Mobile coverage comes and goes on the track, and Google Maps doesn\u2019t always get it right.<\/li>\n
  • Go slowly.<\/strong> You may meet other cars or hikers.<\/li>\n
  • The driveway up inside the property is steep.<\/strong> Take even more care in the rain.<\/li>\n
  • Do your shopping before driving up.<\/strong> There are no shops in El Cedro.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
