Day Trip Details

Pickup will be from your selected meeting point in La Palma. We will travel by bus to Tajuya Square, a viewpoint notable from the volcanic eruption of Tajogaite, allowing observation of the new landscape. Next, we will proceed to El Time, a viewpoint 594 metres (1950 feet) above sea level, to view the Aridane Valley and La Caldera de Taburinte National Park. Depending on the day, we may visit the Farmer's Market in Puntagorda on Sundays or Los Llanos de Aridane on Wednesdays. You will have free time for lunch, so bring a packed meal.

Following lunch, we will drive to Roque de Los Muchachos, the island’s highest point at 2426 metres (7960 feet). This site is ideal for stargazing and offers views of the Taburiente Caldera and potentially El Hierro, La Gomera, and Tenerife Islands. We will then descend along the eastern side of the island, stopping at Los Andenes Viewpoint to see Barranco de Las Angustias. As we conclude, we will visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snows and La Concepción Viewpoint for panoramic views of Santa Cruz de La Palma and the eastern coast.

The trip will last a total of 8 hours before returning to the original meeting point.
