Iballa y el Silbo Gomero

On the island of La Gomera, not all whistling comes from birds—we islanders can communicate by whistling, too. Quite a surprise, isn't it? With us, you can hear (and even learn) *Silbo Gomero*, an ancient form of communication used by those of us living on La Gomera—a practice recognized by UNESCO since 2009 as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. So, I—Iballa—along with my friend Famara, invite you to spend a week with us. Family traditions, harvesting from the garden, cooking, and caring for the animals are just a few of the many activities we have planned; with your help, we’re going to have a fantastic time. A week packed with culture, games, and *Silbo Gomero*. Are you ready?
