Offered in: German and 3 more

This is not just any tour: it is the unique opportunity to discover La Palma through an itinerary personally designed by Basso Lanzone, an official guide with years of experience in the Canary Islands. Each stop has been chosen to showcase the most authentic and spectacular of the island in a single day. We begin by visiting its charming capital, Santa Cruz de La Palma, with colonial streets, wooden balconies and a unique atmosphere. From there, we will climb to the viewpoint of La Cumbrecita, in the Caldera de Taburiente National Park, for breathtaking views. The most striking moment comes in Tacande, where we will approach the Tajogaite volcano (Old Summit), born on September 19, 2021, walking the road built on lava. You will see with your own eyes the strength of nature and the area where an entire neighborhood disappeared.
