During this bus tour in La Palma you will enjoy the most iconic places of the island. Of course, you will visit the Plaza de Tajuya, from where you can see the cones and lava flows left by the volcano.
Before reaching the summit, El Roque de los Muchachos (2,426 m), you will travel by bus through several villages. It starts at the aforementioned Plaza de Tajuya and continues to El Time, a beautiful viewpoint almost 600 metres above sea level. Here you can see the Caldera de Taburiente National Park.
Our excursion on La Palma by bus will then take us to the pretty village of Puntagorda, to visit the farmers’ market. Here confectioners, artisans and farmers display local products.
The next destination is the natural balcony of Roque de los Muchachos. A unique place in the world for its conditions for astronomical observation.
The views will be unforgettable: below us, the Caldera de Taburiente, one of the largest erosion craters and geological gems in the world, and all around us breathtaking views from various vantage points stretching along the ridge.
On a clear day we can see the outlines of the neighbouring islands of El Hierro, La Gomera and Tenerife. Driving along the eastern side of the island, we will observe different layers of vegetation that bloom in spring and add another attraction to the landscape.
We will see almost the entire course of the Barranco de Las Angustias ravine from the Mirador de Los Andenes before reaching the Real Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, where the image of the island’s patron saint can be found. We finish with a unique view of Santa Cruz de La Palma, Las Breñas and the east coast from the Mirador de La Concepción.
