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.

A small park packed with information. Audio tour included in the entry price. Very polite staff. - Very interesting insight into this beautiful island's history. Well kept & very informative. Good value for money. Will improve your appreciation of the island's history & explain why it is as it is today.

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.
