Discover the rich variety of plants on La Gomera
Twenty years ago, I fell in love with the flora of the Canary Islands. It was during a botanical excursion in Tenerife, organised by the University of Hamburg. The Canary Islands are home to over 2,000 plant species, including nearly 600 endemic species and subspecies, and more than 4,000 fungi and lichens. I don’t know them all, but I love learning and discovering more and more, for example through identification guides. I know where an orchid or some other unusual plant might be hiding, and I’ve learnt a few stories about the traditional uses of native and introduced plants.
I’d be delighted to join you on your favourite walk. You’ll see that La Gomera, viewed through the eyes of a plant lover, is a true paradise of biodiversity!

What is the Gomera Rural Life Experience?
It’s an opportunity to experience rural life on La Gomera in an authentic and first-hand way. Gomera Rural Life Experience is an active experience – you are the one who creates, does and experiences something special. I only work with small groups, always responding individually to the participants’ needs. We work with – and not against – nature, and with – and not against – people. We place great importance on mindful communication and the conscious use of resources.
We use our own products and organic produce from the island
We try not to produce any rubbish
We support organic farming and biodiversity
We value traditional craftsmanship and heritage
We cultivate a mindful and appreciative attitude
