Hiking

The hike through the jungle of Barranco La Galga is impressive and is actually also suitable for less trained hikers.

Hiking

In this part of the Barranco you actually feel like you have been transported back to another, long-ago era in world history. The unusually large ferns, the deep gorge in the upper part of the valley and the two aqueducts impressed us most on this tour.

Hiking

The dense laurel forest in the northeast of La Palma will transport you to another world. Giant trees, lush mosses, and a jungle-like panorama dominate the scene. The lush laurel forest is one of the most beautiful scenic highlights in the area.
