Hiking tours for groups

Two tours in one, ideal for cruise guests, with pickup from the port. First we visit the restricted area around the new volcano in La Palma. In a 5km circular route we hike through thick layers of ash and surreal landscape until very close to the new volcanic crater of the Cumbre Vieja. The circular route takes around 2.5 hours and takes place in a group of up to 14 people. After a coffee break in cozy El Paso, we ….

The flagship tour of La Palma. On this overwhelming adventure hike in one of the most active volcanic zones on earth, you will gain deep insights into the island’s volcanic past. Coming from El Paso, we drive up the narrow country road and pass the Tacande volcano. At the time of the conquest by the Spaniards in 1492, the volcano, which erupted around 1470, was still smoking and so it was given the name Montaña Quemada, which means “burnt mountain”. ….

An adventurous 50-minute jeep ride through the unique laurel forest of Los Tilos. The hiking trail first takes us along a water canal with breathtaking views. Equipped with helmets and headlamps, we traverse 13 tunnels carved by hand into the rock. At one of them, the water splashes towards us from all sides. A 45° steep ascent leads us to the Cordero spring, from where the demanding descent leads over 1000 meters through the “water gorge” back to Los Tilos. ….

The nice trail starts at the Cumbrecita (small roof) in the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. On the partly steep ascent through the fragrant pine forest, we are accompanied by magnificent views of the deep gorges of the caldera. Once arrived at the summit at 1854m we enjoy the view far over the island and up to the Teide on Tenerife. A cozy picnic strengthens us for the way back. Distance 13km, 6 hours, +550/-1000m ….

Start of the hike is the Cumbrecita (small roof) at 1350m altitude. From here you have great views of the highest mountains of La Palma and insights into the Caldera de Taburiente. You will be explained the formation and peculiarities of the caldera before heading south through the Riachuelo Valley in the shadow of the Cumbre Nueva. The path is well developed and again and again we have wonderful views of the Aridane valley and the Cumbre Vieja. Most days ….

On the western “camino real” we hike through a varied cultural landscape and cross the “Rhino Mountain” near Tijarafe. Spectacular views over the Atlantic coast are our constant companions. Our destination is the island brewery “Isla Verde”, where we end the tour comfortably over a beer. Distance 8km, 3 hours, +100/-400m ….

We start our hike in the laurel forest of the Los Tilos Biosphere Reserve. Where we get an overview of the natural area in the visitor center. Right at the beginning we duck through old water tunnels into a deep gorge where a wonderful waterfall awaits us. From here we begin our 30-minute climb to the Mirador de las Barandas. We enjoy the view over the laurel forest to the coast. The hike continues mainly in the shady laurel forest ….

We start the tour in La Zarza (the blackberry). There is a visitor center in the middle of the laurel forest with a lot of information about the indigenous people and the laurel forest of La Palma. In addition to the information center, there is also a very beautiful archaeological park, which, among other things, uses Stone Age graffiti to show how the indigenous people used to live on the island. We follow the paths of the indigenous people and ….

One of the most beautiful sections of the island circuit, past dragon tree groves, through wild and remote gorges. On some days goats cross our path. With constant beautiful views over the untouched nature of the north coast, this is a wonderful tour. In the small village of Gallegos, which got its name from immigrants from Galicia and Portugal in the 15th century, we stop at a quaint little pub. Wanderzeit: ca. 5 h | +600 m / ‑700m | ….

We begin our small volcanic route in the village of “Los Canarios” in the southernmost municipality of La Palma and hike down past the 3200-year-old volcanic cone of San Antonio. The path leads us through bizarre lava landscapes that stand in fantastic contrast to the light green glowing vineyards. Roque Teneguia, a prominent phonolite rock dotted with aboriginal carvings, is a silent witness to the site’s importance since pre-Hispanic times. A little further south is the second youngest volcano on ….

We begin our tour with a visit to the unique silk museum, where we can get an idea of the complex traditional craft of silk processing (visit approximately 30-45 minutes). After a short tour of the city, we finally go past the cemetery into a wildly romantic gorge with interesting rock formations and curious medicinal and useful plants. A little later we can admire the two largest petroglyph finds on the island and have a wonderful view of Los Llanos. ….

We hike in one of the most beautiful areas of La Palma. Together we enjoy the spectacular view over breathtaking landscapes and coasts. An easy tour that is also suitable for inexperienced hikers and is extremely interesting due to its varied landscapes. From Tijarafe along the Camino Real we follow old paths over the unique Rhino Mountain to Mirador el Time, a steep rock face with a panorama worth seeing. From here you can either make the 600m descent via ….

On our city tour we immerse ourselves in the history(s) of the capital and its historic buildings. The mill path takes us over 152 steps past several grain mills that are cleverly connected one behind the other to a mountain ridge with a wonderful panoramic view. We pass one of the strangest football stadiums in the world (Guinness Book of Records) and finally reach the Las Nieves pilgrimage church. After delicious tapas, we explore – hidden in a natural gorge ….

Experience one of the most beautiful capitals in the world with us. Together we will enter fascinating courtyards, inspect original houses from the time of its founding and corners of Santa Cruz that you would certainly not discover on your own. Listen to stories from today’s life and let yourself be transported back to times gone by, when pirates still roamed the seas.

Darkness, shadows and contrasts couldn’t be more different: This hike is mystical, unique and one of the most extraordinary experiences on La Palma. ….
