Description
You must be one of the first to discover more closely the volcano of La Palma with this new trail that has just opened to the public.
A 360º tour that will leave you speechless.
This hiking tour (medium/high level) of approximately 3 hours, starts in Llano del Jable and ends in Las Manchas. We will enter, always accompanied by authorized tour guides, on the trail that has been created specifically to reach the viewpoint enabled to the crater of the new volcano of Tajogaite.
Until now, we could only appreciate this phenomenon of nature, about 300m away. Now, with this new 360º tour, inaugurated 3 years after the eruption experienced on the island, we will walk, on ash and lapilli, from the north side of the volcano to the south side.
We will have unique perspectives as we advance along the way, we will appreciate the change that the environment of the volcano has undergone and we will approach the crater. Impressive image that will not leave you indifferent.
Along the way, we will see different instruments of control and measurement with which the eruptive process is still being studied today, we will be amazed to see fig and chestnut trees regrowing on the edges of the volcano and how the Canary pine, once again, wins the battle against catastrophes.
We will arrive, in the final part, to Las Manchas, the place where the volcano was born and one of the most affected by this phenomenon in September 2021.
