Beautiful visit to the past of life in La Gomera, with historical and 3D recreations - We loved the visit, the old mill films and how the wool is prepared to weave are beautiful, the Qr where a guide explains pieces from the same museum, the surroundings surrounded by palm trees and mountains. And the icing was the 3D glasses with a flight over the valley of Hermigua and the waterfall that comes down from the Garajonay.... My husband saw in his glasses how to get palm honey and sap and virtually climbed a palm tree 😂 A highly recommended 10!

Exquisite food with exceptional service - A spectacular place, all the food and the staff of 10, we will repeat without a doubt. The attention of the staff is ideal because they are attentive without being very intense, everything is phenomenal.

Place to learn more about La Gomera - Magnificent ethnographic park to learn about the life, customs and plant and animal products of La Gomera. It is divided into different areas where you can see first-hand how bananas, mangoes and other typical Canary products are raised, as well as goats. It also has several museum areas explaining the different agricultural devices that were used. Among them one dedicated to the water mill It also has a small cafeteria with a terrace, an area to buy products and there are a couple of very interesting 3D videos that you cannot miss.

History, ecology, culture, and cuisine in one stop - This is an excellent opportunity to hear about the history of the Canaries especially La Gomera and see the ecology of the island. I was staying in Hermigua and was fascinated with the banana plantations in the area. It was my desire to hear a bit more about the local history and agriculture. This Ethnographic Park provided exactly that! The self-guided, audio tour around the plantation is a top quality production. The walkways are well manicured and an easy walk in sandals. It is a bit of a hilly terrain, although the walks are solid (wood or cement) so it probably is not the most accessible for strollers or wheelchairs. There are three small museum expeditions which are well done and full of history. We bought the VIP delux ticket that includes a tasting pairing after the tour. It was fun to try a sampling of local cheeses, spreads, bread, and wine. After the tour we stayed and ate at the restaurant which uses produce from the garden. The food was a foodie's delight. The gift shop sells local products with which I plan to return and pack in my suitcase! There is plenty of parking.

Most Enjoyable - There is a very small garden crammed full of local fauna. Although I am not a horticulturalist by any stretch of the imagination, nevertheless I found the visit to this garden very interesting. I for one had not realised that there were so many different species of plants growing on La Gomera. Out tour guide was very knowledgeable about the different plants which made the visit all the more interesting. I visited this garden as a part of an island tour. I did not pay an entrance fee but I think that there is an entrance charge. There is a well stocked shop at the garden which sold a range of local produce and local hand made products which seemed to be reasonably priced. I am happy to recommend the garden as a pleasant rest stop when touring the island.

Informative and interesting from many aspects - Very well made information tour on local customs, agriculture, silbo and more. Also fine display of flora and fauna. Good audio guides. Rather moving exhibition of old and often broken household items. The heritage of the indigenous people from North African tribes is well explained.
