I like a real hike. This was too easy for athletes, who are better to walk to the lighthouse if in sunny far south La Palma or towards beaches or forests if elsewhere on the semi sunny if not whole week sunny north/east/west. Seismologists will however need to take a guided walk such as this to understand the world region’s risks and actions best taken.
The Caldera Taburiente trail is a journey through the island's only national park – and it's the star of La Palma's popular hiking scene. You'll walk 16 kilometres along the snake-like trails – down 800 metres of negative elevation – into a volcano crater basin, gaze out over incredible scenery and visit La Cascade de Colores – a waterfall where iron-rich waters create a rainbow effect in the rock.
