On the 19th of September 2021 a new volcanic crater was formed near La Palma. The volcano previously known as Cumbre Vieja erupted, completely changing the landscape west of the city. Hiking 6.5km on the newly christened Tajogaite – cracked mountain – you'll almost reach the crater. From here, awesome views of the lava flows and the Aridane Valley open up.

We wasn’t told to take warm clothing as the morning at the start point was cold, damp and very windy. You should probably advise future customers to take warm clothing. We were on a tour ran by Isla bonita tours and the only tu customers on the trip, everyone else was dressed for the conditions.

Excellent trip and hike. Advised to wear walking boots or shoes due to the terrain and something warm to wear as the temperature drops when reaching the to of the hike Missed some information on the bus back as the guide didn't have a microphone.

An excellent hike to near the volcano crater. The route is a new one which comes in from the South of the crater and the guide Sophie who was brilliant said it was better. It is not too demanding as it is mainly downhill, in places the sand you walk on is deep but any climbs are short and very manageable. There was also a cool breeze which helped. The pickup and trip to the hike starting point was well organised.
