Program Description
An adventurous hike through the National Park! Inside the about 9 km wide gigantic crater we walk downhill, starting at 1,000 m above sea level through forests of pinetrees, endemic in the Canary Islands Archipelago. On the way, you can see the Cascada de los Colores, a waterfall which iron-rich water falls over the dam, creating a rainbow effect. We reach the Taburiente River - the only stream of the Canary Islands which has water all year round. We will see Roque de Los Muchachos, the highest peak on the island of La Palma. Descent through Dos Aguas, where converge streams flowing from all the sources of the caldera. We reach the Barranco de Los Angustias ravine which surprises us with its geological curiosities created by submarine volcanic eruptions.

Reviews
A very attractive trek, with beautiful views of La Palma`s highest peaks. The approximately 16-kilometer route is divided into three sections: a nearly level hike through a pine forest, a long and rather steep descent to the bottom of a ravine, and a hike along the bottom of a ravine where a stream flows. The landscape is beautiful and varied. A steady pace is recommended, so this isn`t for the physically inactive. The organization is excellent, with shuttle bus transportation to and from the hotel. The route to the starting point (a narrow, serpentine road with 700 meters of elevation gain) is a highlight. Jaga, a wonderful and dedicated guide, not only provides a pleasant atmosphere but also provides engaging stories, especially about the island`s flora.
My stay on La Palma was absolutely exceptional. The island captivates with its untamed nature, tranquility, and landscapes that seem from another planet. Green gorges, towering cliffs, and ocean views truly take your breath away—both literally and figuratively. Caldera de Taburiente National Park made the biggest impression on me. A huge crater, steep rock walls, pine forests, and trails leading through rivers and waterfalls create a spectacular setting. It`s the perfect place for those who love nature, hiking, and silence interrupted only by birdsong and the whisper of the wind. A huge thank you also goes to our guide, Jaga. Her knowledge, calm demeanor, sense of humor, and ability to passionately narrate the island made the trip not only scenically beautiful but also incredibly engaging. Thanks to her, we were able to see La Palma not only through the eyes of a tourist but also understand its history, wildlife, and local life. This place will stay with us for a long time. 💚🌋🌿
