Details of the La Palma Volcano Excursion: Journey into Nature’s Untamed Fury
Your La Palma volcano tour unfolds as you gather with your guide at Avenida el Puente 21, Santa Cruz de La Palma. From here, board the bus to relish in the city’s gems, including the eminent Castillo de Santa Catalina, a stronghold pivotal during the Age of Discovery, and marvel at the city’s distinctive double balconies adorning its residential homes.
Journey on to the Barco de la Virgen, a meticulous replica of the Santa MarÃa, the very ship that sailed with Christopher Columbus on his expedition to the New World. The next stop, Mirador de la Concepción, grants you unparalleled views of the island’s capital and the volcanic scars that define its landscape.
As your voyage heads southwest, you enter the domain marked by the recent eruptions of the Cumbre Vieja volcano. Experience Tacande first-hand, a village now nestled within the volcano’s exclusion zone, bearing silent witness to its raw power. Further on, Tazacorte reveals the nation’s newest lava flow, a testament to the unyielding forces of nature.
Post lunch, your expedition culminates at the Tajuya viewpoint. Here, take a moment to safely contemplate the most current volcanic event in the Canary Islands, forever shaping the topography of La Palma. Concluding your day, recline in your seat as you are comfortably transported back to Santa Cruz.
