A volcanic island of sharp ridges, ancient forests, spectacular peaks and unforgettable Atlantic landscapes.
La Palma brings together several different worlds within a single island. Located in the north-western Canary Islands, it is affectionately known as both the Green Island and La Isla Bonita—the Beautiful Island—because of its extraordinary landscapes and lush vegetation.
The entire island is recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Its volcanic backbone runs from north to south, creating dramatic ridges, deep ravines and contrasting ecosystems. Trade winds and forests capture moisture from the clouds, feeding springs and watercourses and giving the island its distinctive green character.
La Palma’s mild climate, remarkable natural diversity, and extensive trail network make it an outstanding destination for walking year-round.
Our routes reveal some of the island’s most memorable natural treasures:
Walking routes may be adapted according to weather conditions, trail access and the overall well-being of the group.
Declared a National Park in 1954, Caldera de Taburiente is one of La Palma’s most iconic natural landmarks. Its immense volcanic and erosional landscape is surrounded by towering peaks, steep ravines, forests and mountain streams.
The Canary pine dominates much of the scenery. This remarkable native tree has developed an extraordinary resistance to fire after thousands of years of adaptation to the island’s volcanic environment. Its thick bark may burn while the living tree survives and produces new growth.
Water also plays an essential role in this landscape. Springs, streams and moisture captured from the clouds support the island’s forests and contribute to the remarkable ecological diversity of La Palma.
On 19 September 2021, a volcanic eruption began at Cabeza de Vaca, in the municipality of El Paso. It ended on 13 December 2021 after 85 days and 8 hours, making it the longest historical eruption recorded on La Palma.
The eruption transformed part of the island and profoundly affected local communities, destroying homes, farmland, roads, and livelihoods. One of our walking groups was already on La Palma when the eruption began and witnessed its first hours.
The experience remains a powerful reminder that La Palma is a living volcanic island—and of the extraordinary strength and resilience shown by its people.
Walking in La Palma is a journey through volcanic history, ancient forests and vibrant local culture. Every trail reveals a different side of La Isla Bonita and a landscape that continues to change, recover and inspire.

Depending on your group’s requirements, the walking programme can be adapted to different abilities and interests.
