Excursion to La Palma from Tenerife

Description of the experience

Once in La Palma the first stop will be in the capital so that we can discover some of the most emblematic places such as El Barco de la Virgen, a reproduction of the Santa Maria on board of which Christopher Columbus discovered America. It was built in memory of the sailors who set sail from here with sailing ships made from the wood of our mountains. Inside is the naval museum with naval charts and reproductions of some of these ships made on the island. The Castle of Santa Catalina, which was one of the most important in Spain on the route to the Americas. The typical balconies that are one of the best sets of balconies or balcony overhangs that are preserved in the Canary Islands. To emphasize the double balconies that were built to ventilate the houses.

The next stop is the Mirador de la Concepción. It is located in the highest part of the Caldereta volcano "declared natural space" where you can see the crater and the capital of the beautiful island. You will continue to the tunnel of time, seeing how the vegetation changes on the island, and then reach the south west entering the area affected by the Cumbre Vieja volcano.
The next stop will be in the exclusion zone of the Tacande neighborhood where you will have a first view of the volcano and then you will go to Tazacorte, seeing the youngest lava flows in Spain.

Lunch will be served in one of the typical restaurants of the area at about 13:30. After lunch from the port of Tazacorte you will see the fajana or lava delta.

The last stop will be at the viewpoint of Tajuya where you will have the time to observe, in total safety at a distance of 2 km, the last volcano of the Canary Islands that still has no name!
