Leisurely La Palma

Uncover the charming history and breath-taking views of La Palma as you visit quaint mountain hamlets, quiet black sandy beaches and astonishing viewpoints. Travel to El Paso, which means “the pass,” a lovely village that lies just south of the awe-inspiring Caldera de Taburiente National Park. During your journey, behold the incredible terrain that, while starkly steep, is filled with fertile valleys dotted with picturesque farms. Driving along the Llano de Las Cuevas plain, observe the majanos, pyramid-shaped piles of stones, and walls constructed by 16th-century colonists as they cleared rocks from the land to prepare it for planting.

Appreciate how the landscape could be rough, beautiful, surprising, and spectacular, while reaching a viewpoint over the most recent volcano of the Island: Tajogaite, It was formed by an 85 days long eruption process that affected the island in 2021. The new volcano has created a new strip of land changing completely the landscape in the Aridane Valley. Next, drive back toward the coast to La Conception viewpoint to take in views of the capital of the Island before reaching the coast to admire the black Sandy beaches of Los Cancajos resort. Have some little time at leisure for a stroll around before reaching the viewpoint of Roque Alto for some breathing panoramic views before returning to pier.
