Full description

Discover the new volcano of La Palma and its consequences as you visit the youngest piece of land on the continent that was created in 2021. See the lava flows and hike to the top of the volcano on this guided walking tour.

Begin your hike from the first historic volcano, Tacande which was registered in 1480 and known as the burnt mountain. Start the ascent up the new Cumbre Vieja volcano and admire the overwhelming landscape that was formed in just 85 days.

Hike to the top of the volcano, walk around the back edge on a 4.5-kilometer route along a comfortable path where you can observe the force of the eruption. (you do not climb on the crater).

Learn about how the lava flow destroyed over 3000 buildings, and forests, and formed a new peninsula. See where the fiery molten rock carved its own path and created a new volcanic landscape.

Definitely book this. You won't be sorry when you see the amazing view and as our guide pour it, "you're walking on some of the newest ground on earth!" Nice, small group ! Transportation provided up to the starting point (about 10 minutes) which was a nice way to start the day. Very knowledgeable, self-invested and friendly guide. Spoke Spanish and English for us. Provided images of before, during and after the eruption which helped us visualize and understand what we were seeing. A very easy to manage walk with interesting stops along the way and opportunities to take photos. For us in our 60's (but think we're still 40!), this was the perfect mix of exercise and exploration. This really opened our eyes to the uniqueness of La Palma and would highly recommend this activity!

Rundum eine sehr gut organisierte Exkursion; eine überschaubare Gruppe (von der Größe her), gute Atmosphäre, freundliche Führerin, die gut strukturiert, sprachlich gut verständlich -sowohl auf spanisch als auch auf englisch - uns detailliert und anschaulich -mit Fotomaterial - Infos und Hintergründe vermittelte, offen für Fragen war und uns ruhig und ohne Stress durch die beeindruckende Landschaft führte.

Tolle kleine Wanderung mit einer interessanten und informativen Führung. Steven hat alle Frage gut und mit hohem Wissen beantwortet und immer wieder Hintergrundinformationen einfließen lassen. Ganz neben bei hat er noch die geologische Entstehungsgeschichte von La Palma an Hand eines Sandmodels erklärt. Das Ganze auf Spanisch und Deutsch im Wechsel. 3,5 std. Ca. 150m runter und wieder rauf auf festen Wegen aus Vulkanasche und Tolle Einblicke auf den neuen Vulkankrater hatten wir auch. Besser geht nicht. Danke und weiter so.
