Program Description
Departure from the hotels. Drive to the viewpoint El Mirador del Roque de los Muchachos, from where you will start hiking the GR-131 trail, known as “El Bastón,” along the ridge of Caldera de Taburiente National Park. At the beginning of the trail, the gradient is significant but gradually decreases. Throughout the hike, you will be accompanied by unusual views, including the interior of one of the largest erosion craters in the world. The path leads to Mirador de los Andenes, intersecting with a wall of basalt stone along the way. Continue climbing to the second highest peak on the island, located in the subalpine zone: Pico de la Cruz (2351 meters above sea level). During the route, with good visibility, you will have the opportunity to enjoy magnificent views of the entire Barranco de las Angustias Gorge and the neighboring islands of Tenerife, El Hierro, and La Gomera. Transfer back to the hotels.

Reviews
A trip to the roof of La Palma offers the opportunity to get above the clouds, but that doesn`t mean there aren`t any views. On the contrary, the western part of the island, where the clouds don`t reach, will be clearly visible, all the way to the ocean. The trek itself isn`t demanding, and the pace is slow. Perhaps 5 km, with a slight elevation gain, so anyone who can climb or descend a few flights of stairs can manage it. The ascent (and descent) to the summit is by coach – but it`s hard to expect a 2.5 km ascent. The journey itself is long, a 75-90-minute drive on serpentine roads, plus hotel transfers, so you might end up spending five hours on the coach. It`s worth it, though, as the views from the window during the ascent and at the summit are very diverse. Guide Jaga is an excellent tour guide.
Great place!!! I highly recommend it 😊😁😄
