Enjoy a magnificent and unforgettable hiking route to discover the new volcano of La Palma.
•Duration: 3:30-4h, round trip
•Distance: 8 kilometers
•Difficulty: medium
The route is now approximately 8km, duration of 3:30-4h, and with a slope of -300m/+300m.
We get much closer to one of the volcano's craters (previously about 400m from a crater, now 1m from the edge of another of the many craters it has).
The ground is still volcanic ash.
Meeting point: La Palma Outdoor (C/ Antonio Pino Pérez, Nº1 in El Paso) at 11:45
Due to weather conditions, the route can be modified and made linear to the Las Manchas neighborhood. The duration would be the same, the only difference would be that the difference in elevation would be +100m/-600m and the distance would be 6.5 km. They would be dropped off again at the La Palma Outdoor office.

5.00Thank you Juan for the great tour, very knowledgeable. This hike is not an easy hike, the conditions were hard with high winds. La Palma is a amazing island with amazing people. Great hiking experience, and great volcano experience as well!
Not for photographers

3.00The hike is really great, not to mention the crazy beautiful scenery. But one should be aware of the following things: 1. Those (like us) who like to photograph will not have fun here. You learn an incredible amount about the origin of the island, but these lectures always take place in relatively boring places where there are few motives. You then run past the real spots, like a house half-swallowed by the lava. 2. You don't even have 5 minutes at the crater. 3. Less all lectures, less than 3 hours remain for 8 kilometers. For us it was pure hustle and bustle and did not give us the opportunity to take photos or really perceive this insanely mystical place. If none of this is a problem, I can highly recommend the tour. For us, however, it was unfortunately completely inappropriate.

5.00We had the most interesting tour with our guide Juan (I think his name was). Even when my husband got challenged due to lack of medicine our guide was very helpful. The nature around the volcano is so beautiful and our guide had so many interesting things to tell us about the surroundings. Thank you so much. Next time we go to La Palma, we will definetely choose another tour with you.
