crystal-clear streams, and dramatic volcanic formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can start your visit at the modern<a href=\"https:\/\/lapalmaisland.com\/en\/caldera-de-taburiente-visitor-center\/\"> Visitor Centre in El Paso<\/a> or enjoy the breathtaking views from <a href=\"https:\/\/lapalmaisland.com\/en\/cumbrecita-la-palma-viewpoint\/\">La Cumbrecita viewpoint<\/a>, one of the most spectacular natural windows into the heart of the caldera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main hiking route (moderate difficulty) begins at Los Brecitos and leads deep into the National Park, descending through the Playa de Taburiente area before continuing towards the Barranco de las Angustias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493
