On reaching the cliffs, this path crosses three impressive ravines in the direction of the idyllic village of San Andrés. All along the way you will enjoy extraordinary views, with the peak of Mount Teide (Tenerife) on the horizon as you cross numerous tropical fruit farms. San Andrés is a picturesque enclave with a few places to visit at the end of the route. Visit Charco Azul Natural Pools, an ideal place to cool off with a refreshing swim in summer.

It is now time to go through two of the most spectacular ravines in the north: the ravine of Franceses and the ravine of Los Hombres. Leaving the village of Franceses behind, a winding path zigzags along its edges until it climbs up to the ridge that hides one of the most beautiful corners of La Palma: El Tablado.

When you reach an altitude of 1,000 metres above sea level, the scenery will be completely different. Huge Canary Island pine trees form a majestic landscape interspersed with extraordinary views of Roque de Los Muchachos. From Roque Faro the route heads towards La Zarza and La Zarcita, an enclave where we find aboriginal rock engravings and an interesting Information Centre about pre-Hispanic culture.
The path now descends towards Don Pedro to cross again the ravine that stops at the village of El Tablado. A circular route with a great variety of landscapes that introduces you to the mysterious world of the Guanches.

TOUR LOCATION
Enjoy the lush north of the island, with lush, untouched vegetation. Passing through impressive green jungles and crossing spectacular cliffs with fantastic views over the Atlantic.
Small city hotel located on the southern tip of Santa Cruz de La Palma. It enjoys beautiful views of the harbour and the crater of La Caldereta. On the roof terrace there is a huge solarium and just a few steps from the hotel we enter the traditional district of San Telmo, the Plaza de Santo Domingo and the Circo de Marte theatre, as well as the pedestrianised centre of Santa Cruz.
Large and comfortable apartment-style rooms equipped with kitchenette and balcony-terrace, with partial view of the harbour and the mountains.
The El Galeónhotel is a suitable accommodation to enjoy the first two nights in Santa Cruz de La Palma.
HOSTAL BUBANGO
Right in the centre of Los Sauces, next to its lively square, we find this beautiful hostel, run by two young Europeans. Hostal Bubango is located in a carefully reconstructed old manor house. It offers 5 well-kept rooms and allows you to enjoy the lively social life of Los Sauces, its cafés, bars and terraces. On the roof terrace there is the possibility of having breakfast while watching the hustle and bustle of the peasants going about their daily chores. An ideal place to stay before embarking on the following routes in the far north of La Palma.
The rooms reflect a syncretism of styles, with bright colours and warm decorations, typical of Northern Europe. The woodwork corresponds to the traditional Canarian style, combining harmoniously with the modern form of its decoration.
CASA RURAL LAS GEMELAS
As the name suggests, Las Gemelas are two small holiday homes in an extraordinary setting. From their windows and balconies you can enjoy an indescribable view of both ravines, at an altitude of 350 metres above the sea. Las Gemelas is a well-kept and well-managed accommodation in a paradisiacal setting.
Breakfast will be offered in the old "venta de Rosa", today run by Claire, a Dutch woman who decided to settle in the remote north of La Palma. El Tablado is a small paradise away from all the hustle and bustle. A haven of peace situated on a promontory between two spectacular ravines.
CASA RURAL LA CHARQUITA
There is the Casa Rural La Charquita, a pretty house, centrally located in the village, has a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and is equipped with many details and a lush garden. Breakfast is offered in the nearby café. The right accommodation for the last two days on La Palma.
In the warmth of the sunny morning and amidst the smell of orange blossom, a new day begins to enjoy the routes from Las Tricias to Puntagorda, walking among centenary dragon trees.
