La Gomera and El Hierro are the 2 smallest of the Canary Islands and are very popular with walkers. They offer a wide variety of little-known walking terrain from steep-sided barrancos and dramatic cliffs to the gentler slopes inland cloaked in laurisilva and pine forests.

Some highlights on La Gomera include Alto de Garajonay, Garajonay national park, laurisilva 'cloud forest', deep and rugged barrancos, GR131, and the GR132. Some highlights on El Hierro include Malpaso, World Bisosphere Reserve, Camino de La Virgen, GR131, and volcanic cones.
