La Palma: the best sky to see the stars shine next to the person you love.

The beach at Charco Verde in the south-west of La Palma, is just two kilometres away from Puerto Naos. Surrounded by nature, it is the best beach to take the children to without giving up the benefits of a rural setting. This pleasant cove, surrounded by cliffs and banana plantations, benefits from a calm sea, allowing the whole family to enjoy the water and sand. As well as being easily accessible by road, Charco Verde also offers parking.

The route between the port of Tazacorte and the El Time viewpoint is a short hike suitable for all levels, making it ideal for a family outing. The excursion begins at the port, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim and savor delicious fresh fish, and leads to the viewpoint, offering excellent views of the Llanos de Aridane. The complete route is around 6 kilometers, half if you only do the one-way journey. Every May, thousands of runners traverse this path to fulfill a dream: the Transvulcania.

This is a circular route that runs along the rugged coast of Tijarafe and ends in Porís de Candelaria, one of the most authentic parts of the island. The route is misleading, as it may seem short and easy at first, but you have to take into account the steep incline. Along the way, you will pass places such as Topo de Capote, Lomo del Viudo, Las Lajitas, Descansadero de la Higuera de Las Barqueras or the Cuevas de Los Barqueros until you reach Punta de las Salemas, before descending into Porís de Candelaria with its bay and caves.

Pico de la Nieve is one of the highest peaks in the Caldera de Taburiente at 2,239 metres above sea level. The route that leads to its summit is one of the most popular among the thousands of mountaineers who come here year after year. You can get exceptional panoramic views of the entire park from the summit. This is a simple, short and easy route with little incline that takes about two hours to complete. It was very difficult to get to in the past, but now there is a road that leads to the Roque de los Muchachos and a small car park where hikers start the route at an altitude of almost 1,900 metres, making it much more accessible.

The Mirador del Barranco de Garome offers a panoramic view of the valley of the same name, which forms a natural border between Puntagorda and Tijarafe. The valley is surrounded by pine forests. The climb is not suitable for people who suffer from vertigo as it drops from 2,200 metres to ground level in just 10 kilometres. We really recommend going to watch the sunset where you can admire the incredible colours and hues that glisten off the sea in the distance. The viewpoint is on the LP-1 road, after the Tinizara neighbourhood in the north of the town, so you can reach it by car.

This is one of La Palma’s quintessential volcanic trails, perfect for mountain lovers. It runs along the entire ridge of the Caldera de Taburiente, starting at the Roque de los Muchachos and ending at the Pico de la Nieve, although different variations are possible, such as finishing at the Refugio del Pilar. It offers impressive views overlooking the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. You can admire the southern slope on one side and the northern slope on the other. Along the way, near the Pico de la Sabina, you can see a tagoror, a meeting place for the Auaritas, the first settlers of the island, as this area was of great importance for the them. The interesting pine trees with their original shapes are not to be missed along the way.

Los Brecitos viewpoint is an ideal place to view the Caldera de Taburiente National Park and the Pico Bejenao. It’s also the starting point for one of the most beautiful trails on La Palma, which leads to the Las Angustias valley. Please note that even though you can drive up to the viewpoint to take in the view, you can’t park, so you must use a taxi.
