La Palma is affectionately called La isla bonita by its inhabitants – the beautiful island – and it's easy to understand why. On this richly varied hiking trip, you experience the island's entire dramatic spectrum: from lush laurel and cloud forests in the north to lava fields, volcanic craters, and deep ravines in the south. You walk along old Camino Real trails through peaceful agricultural landscapes, pass banana plantations, and reach some of the island's most iconic places, such as the Jurassic Park-like Caldera de Taburiente National Park and the volcanic trail Ruta de los Volcanes. Carefully selected hotels and well-marked trails, combined with unique views that stay etched in your memory, make this a magnificent hiking trip.

Level & standard
This is a moderately demanding hiking trip with great variation. The trails are well-marked, but the terrain is at times steep and hilly, with long ascents and descents. The surface varies between paths, lava fields, gravel roads, and forest trails. The daily stages average 12 km with 500 meters of elevation gain per day. The trip suits those with good basic fitness and some experience hiking in mountainous environments. It is possible to add a transfer package that shortens several of the days.
You stay in carefully selected hotels with great locations for hiking, a personal atmosphere, and consistently good comfort. All rooms have a private bathroom. In Santa Cruz, you stay at a charming hotel with traditional Canarian architecture near the sea. In Barlovento, a family-run mountain hotel awaits, surrounded by laurel and pine forest, with views of both the sea and the mountains. In Los Llanos, you stay centrally at a modern, stylish hotel with a rooftop terrace and a small pool – perfect for recovery after the hiking days.
