Next, you’ll travel through the “Time Tunnel”, where the landscape and vegetation shift dramatically, a magical transition into La Palma’s wild heart.

At La Cumbrecita, you’ll take in breathtaking views over the enormous Caldera de Taburiente, surrounded by pine trees and silence.

Later, at the Tajuya and Tacande viewpoints, you’ll witness the dramatic transformation left behind by the Tajogaite volcano, born in 2021.

There will be time for lunch in El Paso, followed by a drive across the new lava road, an experience that evokes both awe and respect for nature’s force.
