Roque de los Muchachos Hike

Explore the highest peaks of La Palma & get to know the beautiful landscapes of Caldera de Taburiente National Park on this hiking route to Roque de los Muchachos.

Roque de los Muchachos Hike

At the scheduled time, we will collect you from your chosen meeting point. We will board a bus and travel along the winding road to the highest point of the island, Roque de los Muchachos.

After departing the minibus, we will start a moderate-level hiking route through Caldera de Taburiente National Park. The trail runs along the edge of the crater, offering views of astronomical observatories and the blanket of clouds covering the northern part of the island.

During the tour, we will see a variety of vegetation such as cedars, laburnum, broom, pansies, and tajinastes. The hiking path will also cross Roberto's Wall, related to a unique legend.

The hiking route is about 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) long and will take us to Pico de la Cruz, the closest point to Roque de los Muchachos, where we will enjoy the landscapes. Weather permitting, we will have panoramic views of El Hierro, La Gomera, and Tenerife.

Finally, we will return to the starting point after spending between 4 and 5 hours together.
