Overview

Take the scenic drive from the cruise port over to your first stop, Llano de Las Ventas. Set on the Eastern slopes of the Cumbra Nueva.

This viewpoint offers a panoramic view over Santa Cruz de La Palma and its surrounding areas, as well as over to the larger islands of Tenerife and La Gomera. On a day when there is no cloud on the Cumbra Nueva, there is no better mirador. Enjoy around 5-10 minutes taking photographs or soaking up the view.

Now we will head over to Llano del Jable, the perfect viewpoint for stargazing at night. At 1200 meters above sea level, the Llano del Jable viewpoint will offer spectacular views over the Aridane valley with the old volcano in the foreground.

Our final viewpoint will be that of Mirador de la Cumbrecita. with the breathtaking view over the National park of Caldera de Taburiente, you will see the paths of several hiking trails which lead up to the Chapel of the Virgin del Pino.

Head down from the Mirador de la Cumbrecita viewpoint until we reach the visitors center of the La Caldera de Taburiente.

The La Caldera de Taburiente national park is covered in Canary island pine forests and waterfalls. Surrounded by high peaks you can see its massive volcanic crater.

Here we will have around 20 minutes to explore and see nature at is best in this rugged area of La Palma. with its vast array of Flora and Fauna lying over the volcanic crater, at over 5 miles wide, you will see why it is one of the most visited in La Palma.
