Recognizable on most postcard motifs, the Cascada de colores is in reality even more impressive. Funny, too, that one does not really notice that the wall is created artificially (a la "forest for the trees").
Best of all, the Cascade de Colores is the destination of a very nice walk through a Barranco.

La Rosera

Highlight • Natural Monument

Apparently, particularly impressive trees have gotten their name in this part of the Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente. This incredible tree that looks like a Harry Potter movie is called La Rosera.

Las Angustias Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

This natural space, at the foot of the Caldera de Taburiente National Park, is formed after the union of the two permanent streams that emerge from the caldera. It is a magnificent place and a stopping point for numerous routes in the area. Despite carrying water almost always, it is advisable to carry water in your backpack, since it is not suitable for consumption and it usually gets a lot of sun. It is also important to wear appropriate footwear because the terrain is steep.

April 27, 2025,‪Trasa: ‪Caldera de Taburiente‬ – ‪Dwie wody‬

A difficult route for able-bodied people. The trail from the car park up is probably rarely used. Poorly trodden paths and at about 2 kilometres a signpost shows the direction and partly runs a path that I had to find and unfortunately leads to 3 private properties with a closed gate. I continued along the asphalt road to the nearest …

January 19, 2025,Von Los Brecitos durch die Caldera de Taburiente

The first part of the route we took a taxi up the hill. Saves you 2 hours walking and cost you 50 Euro. That service is provided on the parking. Beautiful route through pine forest with great mountain views and along an impressive Baranco. Half way is a campsite with facilities. Depending on the water level you have to cross …

March 2, 2023,🇪🇸 Von Los Brecitos durch die Caldera de Taburiente

According to the hiking guide a "must" for every La Palma hiker. Which he's not so wrong about. Great hike from the Los Brecitos parking lot (via shuttle) into the caldera and then back out over the "gorge of the fear of death". Beautiful pine forest hiking trail and beautiful gorge hike in the caldera.

June 6, 2024,Caldera de Taburiente / Mirador de Los Brecitos -> Cascada de La Fondada -> Barranco de Las Angustias

This tour is definitely one of the highlights of the island of La Palma and should definitely be done during your stay!
From the car park you can take a taxi to the starting point and from there start the hike comfortably. The waterfall is very impressive and worth the climb. Cascada de los Colores is very beautiful, but that's …

A true hiking adventure through the heart of the caldera

This hike is one of the most impressive tours La Palma has to offer – an absolute highlight for us, and one we've undertaken several times, and for good reason. The route leads right through the mighty Caldera de Taburiente and impresses with spectacular views, unique rock formations, and a …

Hello friends of well-maintained hiking,

One of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done.
Parked at the Barranco de Angustinas hiking car park (free). The drive from Los Llanos alone is not for the faint of heart! Narrow, tight bends with no clear view make the journey an adventure!
Taxis are available at the WP to continue to the Mirador …

July 5, 2023,LP: Mirador de los Brecitos-Barranco de las Angustias

I was on my way early in the morning. At the gas station a café and then we went towards Los Llanos. Petrol is significantly more expensive on LP, almost 40 cents more than on TF.

You leave your vehicle in the parking lot at the end of the hike and then take a taxi to the starting point. The …

May 1, 2022,7. Caldera de Taburiente

The classic Caldera circuit
One of the top tours on La Palma
Not to be underestimated despite the "small" ascent, because the more than 1000 meters downhill are noticeable at the end.
Often very warm and little shade.
There is drinking water and toilets at the Playa de Taburiente campsite.

Information about the national park, the hiking trails and the …
