Overview

Known as "La Isla Bonita" and named as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, La Palma is an island in the Canary Islands that nature lovers cannot miss. Walking around it and getting to know its spectacular gorges, forests, towering cliffs and coastlines is very comfortable, due to its large network of trails.

Your tour through this island will be full of contrasts: in the north you will find its gorges and lush vegetation, and in the central area, the volcanic formations of the Caldera de Taburiente National Park, where you will find one of the largest erosion craters on earth.

You can also visit the natural amphitheatre of the Gulf Valley, located at an altitude of 2,500 metres.

  • You will stay in Santa Cruz, capital of La Palma, and in charming rural villages where you can spend relaxing nights in front of the sea.
  • You can enjoy the island along its many trails.
  • Enjoy the local gastronomy, among which stand out ingredients such as bananas, almonds, citrus fruits and avocados.
  • Take the volcano route and get to know the majestic Caldera de Taburiente National Park.
