Hike Details

At the time indicated, we'll pick you up from the meeting point you choose to start this activity. During the hiking route, we'll cover a total of 17 km (10.5 miles). Ready? Let's go!

Firstly, we'll head to El Pilar Refuge, a resting area at 1,450 metres (4,760 feet) above sea level. This is the best spot to start this volcano hiking route in La Palma. So, what are you waiting for?

Along the way, we'll discover the island's volcanic history as we pass through ancient lava fields and spot ash and volcanic cauldrons from volcanic eruptions that have shaped the Canary Islands. We'll cross the newest part of the island, formed of several volcanoes that form part of the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park.

We'll go around Birigoyo Mountain, an old volcanic cone. The hike up will reward us with incredible views of the Valley of Aridane, the Caldera de Taburiente and in the distance the Roque de Los Muchachos, the highest point on the island of La Palma. Don't forget your camera!

Next, we'll continue hiking around volcanic lands where you can't miss the red and black tones on the ground. We'll spot the San Juan Volcano, the Hoyo Negro crater and Las Deseadas. You'll fall in love with the views!

Afterwards, we'll start heading down to Los Canarios, in Fuencaliente. _Nearby, we'll find the Martín Volcano, with curious colours and formations, making it one of the most iconic on the island.

Finally, we'll head back to the starting point, where we'll arrive approximately 7 hours after the start of the activity.
