What to see in La Palma
The Isla Bonita is one of the most rugged islands in the world. In an area of just 724 square kilometres, the highest peak rises imposingly to 2426 metres above the sea. What’s more, the island is split into two halves by the central mountain range that divides it. One half is the green island. The other half is sunnier, with vegetation reminiscent of Mediterranean areas. In the south, volcanoes of recent eruptions proliferate. The Cumbre Vieja is the mountain range that divides the south of the island between east and west.
Participating in a hiking group we will walk through the most characteristic landscapes of La Palma. Here are the routes
Hiking in a group: the routes
Enchanted Forest at “Cubo de La Galga”
Trail through the north-eastern ravines, in the ravine known as Cubo de La Galga. Undoubtedly one of the best routes on La Palma. A protected natural area of enormous botanical interest. Endemic species live and develop in a very humid environment. The landscape takes us back to the lush forests of the tertiary era. But fortunately the dinosaurs are missing.
The Caldera crater rim
It is the highest point on La Palma. Several astronomical observatories have been set up around it. Along the ridges of the Roque we find the GR131, an extensive long-distance footpath of 84 km. And near the Roque de Los Muchachos we will find splendid viewpoints from where we can observe La Caldera and the whole island from a bird’s eye view, as well as La Gomera, El Teide and El Hierro. Without a doubt, walking parts of the GR131 is to walk along one of the best routes on La Palma.
Great Volcano Route
In the south of the island we find a splendid volcanic landscape. San Antonio and Teneguía are two recent craters that can be explored on one of the best routes on La Palma. The original Ruta de Los Volcanes starts at Refugio del Pilar and ends in Fuencaliente. The great circuit through the southern volcanoes is the continuation of this route, which descends to the sea and returns to Fuencaliente.
The unspoiled north
Over hundreds of thousands of years, erosion has carved deep ravines in the north of La Palma.
ravines in the north of La Palma. The arrival of man brought civilisation. Following the course of the animals, the best passages were defined to establish paths between the ravines. And it was on the backs of these ravines that the incipient population settled. Today, walking along these ancient paths is one of the best routes on La Palma.
The Caldera de Taburiente
It is the heart of the island, not only because of its shape. It is situated in the very centre and was declared a National Park in 1954. La Caldera is a huge erosion crater. Its volcanic activity dates back to a very remote past. The walk inside the crater is one of the best routes on La Palma. It starts at 1050 metres above sea level and descends steadily until it reaches the ravine. The old tobacco farms are still tended by hermit dwellers. The high cliffs of La Caldera favour a favourable climate with little rainfall. However, abundant springs provide enough water for the whole Aridane Valley.
Our guided hiking group is designed to get to know the island in depth and incorporates a day of relaxation in the middle of the week.
This hiking package, joyning a guided closed group, allows you to know the island in depth, including a rest day in between.
