Trails of La Palma: La Isla Bonita

  • Exploring the lush northern gorges and central volcanoes of La Palma on foot
  • 360° views from above the clouds over the ’Island Bonita’
  • Feasting on local ingredients— almonds, bananas, citrus fruits and avocados
  • Staying in sea view properties with a relaxed and rural authentic charm
  • The famed ‘Ruta de los Volcanes’ and exploring the Caldera de Taburiente Park
La Palma is known as ‘La Isla Bonita’ for good reason; this beautiful isle is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, filled with deep gorges, laurel forests, dramatic cliffs and coastline. You can easily explore all of this thanks to La Palma’s superb network of walking trails. This trip contrasts the jungle-like wild gorges of the north with the volcanic wonders of the centrally-located Caldera de Taburiente National Park, where you’ll explore one of the largest erosion craters on Earth. Hike in the sunny shelter of a natural amphitheatre nearly 2,500 metres high. You will stay in the lovely capital of Santa Cruz and in a charming mountain hotel in the village of Barlovento.
