Magical place if you’re deciding whether to go there or not … GO THERE

What a beautiful national park with breathtaking views along the walking route at the top parking area surrounded by the protected Canarian Pines. The drive up in our coach was a bit scary when we met another coming down as difficult to pass in the narrow road and their was lovely scenes down the valley on the way. We only did a short walk to the viewing platforms where you could see the layers of rock formation. It was very interesting to learn from our guide about the huge erosion crater and rocky layers. We found out about the dangers of forest fires and how the Canarian Pines have developed to survive them. Wear sensible comfortable shoes and a drink. The walking route has steep drops and no barriers, but the pathway is wide. It was chilly in the shade and warm in the sunshine. The visitors centre and toilets are at the bottom. You have to prebook a time slot for parking your vehicle to visit as numbers are restricted due to limited parking at the top. Very well worth a visiting if you are in the area.

Amazing park, just be careful of the decent after the waterfall. The constantly going up and down is very intensive and in our opinion harder than el réventon

Absolutely lovely! If you can go just go...

Majestic sight. Hiking inside the caldera is an interesting experience.

Best views I have ever seen and I have travelled to many places before like the alps, bring warm clothing however as you can expect it to be chilly as I could see my breath. Taxis run up and down from the place aswell and they are incredibly cheap. Make sure to go BEFORE 2 as the whole views are covered by clouds however.

this caldera is one the most fascinating places I have ever seen. unbelievable vistas while taking a short (+-60 mins depending on your pace) hike. one should make a reservation to get there, although we were let drive up without having it checked.

Amazing location and definately worth a visit both in the day and the evening. The star gazing in the evening is very special, the milky way is so clear and shooting stars satellites and of course the millions of stars. There are new buildings which you can park at. Be careful driving up and down as the roads are hairpin after hairpin.

Awesome place with amazing landscape. I took the walk path to the Pico de Bejenado (PR LP 13.3) which is a quite challenging one going up all the time. Definitely worth it for one of the best view over the Caldera de Taburiente!

Amazing walks and hikes! Breathtaking views! make sure to bring ample water when venturing

Very beautiful. Unexpected and breath-taking landscapes with a lot of flora. The cliffs, rocks, plants and trees are combined like a real jungle. The journey through the river bed was fun and doable.

We visited whilst on a one day visit from a cruise ship. Interesting architecture.

Good pasta and sauces, good prices. Super friendly waitress, we were made very welcome. Highly recommended

Great balconies full of flowers, each balconies looks diffrent . A must see when you arround the area

So pretty. Wonderfully kept old houses, so colourful. Gorgeous area. Just great to wander. Stopping for a photo or jyst drinking in the atmosphere.

Lovely walk along the front looking at the old buildings and some very good restaurants

We visited the capital and found it a little underwhelming; however, we were drawn to the old balconies whilst passing. The seafront opposite is quite appealing, too; however, with it being volcanic, it's completely black.

There's no way to miss it if you're in La Palma's capital city. Several classical, Canarian houses - local architecture at its finest :)

Historical and attractive buildings with pretty flower filled balconies. worth a visit if you are in the area. There are some cafes and shops here.

These balconies were picturesque! Contrasting simple elegance against the natural beauty of the landscape, they were truly a sight to behold.

So pretty!

a must have to have seen !

Must see and enjoy the views. The museum is also very informative. A bit windy 🌬️ so literally jacket and good walking shoes. **would be nice to have some picnic tables to eat.

It is stunning obviously. But I don’t know why they close at 7pm. When I got there after 1.40 mins of drive, it was disappointing to see you couldn’t go all the way up to the observatories. I mean, I assumed people would want to look at the stars and planets at night and so they’d be open at least until 11pm or midnight. Anyway, you’re still really high up and get to enjoy breathtaking night sky and the clouds etc. I was just under the impression from visiting some of the others E.g. in the States and Greece that observatories in or around National Parks stay open till later so people can look at the night sky closely. I should have done more research may be. It was still amazing to be there.

The Peak of La Palma! You don't know where to look first... the huge crater of Taburiente, the observatories or the plain of Los Llanos. The parking situation at the top is usually difficult, but you can also walk the last few meters. From the Platform you can also see Tenerife, La Gomera and El Hierro on good (clear) days. All in all, a magical place where I can personally spend hours without getting bored.

To all Humans on Island, please be Safe...!!! Volcano's been erupting over Millions of years....

The drive here is stunning and takes you through some amazing scenery, but it's most impressive at the top. This is the highest point in La Palma at 2,426m elevation. When we went it wasn't cloudy further down on the island, but there was quite a bit of cloud right at the top around the viewpoint. This meant we couldn't see as far as is possible from this viewpoint, but it was actually pretty cool being up in the clouds. Definitely worth the visit.

Amazing view even when calima is over the island.

Absolutely stunning place, above the clouds, out of this world.

Stunning, majestic, transcendent, breathtaking... an absolute must-visit of La Palma. This magical place above the clouds will reward you with a once in a lifetime experience. From here you can see the entire volcano caldera, three of the other islands in the horizon and a stunning depth of space in any direction that will leave you speechless. Ridiculously easy to access by car, with a small parking lot from which you can take a short path towards the best views, passing by impressive rock formations. If you’re in luck, a small group of friendly local ravens will let you take a picture with them in exchange for a small treat. Together with a view of the astronomical observatories nearby, this is one place you will be remembering often as one of the highlights of your travels.

Wow, just wow. The highest point on the island gifts you these views. You *must* arrive around 8-9am, otherwise you could find yourself looking at a lot of cloud… The best views on the island, and if you’re lucky, you’ll also encounter these breathtaking sea of fog landscapes.

Incredible place. Definitely a must-do in La Palma

Upon arrival we found there is a car park near the top. A small trail went to various viewpoints in the area which all had excellent views over the mountains. We enjoyed being above the clouds and taking pictures.

Nice Trail , impressive lava fields

(Translated by Google) The Teneguia is behind the San Antonio. It cannot be reached through the visitor center. We were there years ago and wanted to repeat the experience. Unfortunately, a small stone wall with a prohibition sign now blocks access... Too bad 😕 (Original) Der Teneguia liegt hinter dem San Antonio. Man erreicht ihn nicht durch das Besucherzentrum. Wir waren vor Jahren dort und wollten das Erlebnis wiederholen. Leider versperrt nun eine kleine Steinmauer mit Verbot Schild den zugang... Schade😕

Ok

Waste of time

(Translated by Google) A privileged space for palm trees. A passing place on La Ruta de Los Volcanes, as well as on the way to El Puertito, from Los Quemados, as a local trail. Exuberant, splendid and sublime. (Original) Un espacio privilegiado para los palmeros. Lugar de paso en La Ruta de Los Volcanes, así como de camino al El Puertito, desde Los Quemados, como sendero local. Exuberante, esplendoroso y sublime.

(Translated by Google) Very easy access from the parking place on a comfortable walk suitable for children. Interesting visit. (Original) Muy fácil acceso desde el lugar de aparcamiento en un cómodo paseo apto para niños. Visita interesante.

(Translated by Google) Phenomenal views of the volcano. You have to park your car at the entrance, which is generally not crowded. After more or less 15 or 20 minutes you arrive at the viewpoint where you are next to the volcano crater itself. The track is very easy and passable to walk. It can be done with children without any problem. You can see along the track the vine plantations that are usually malvasia that contrast with the black sand landscape. (Original) Vistas fenomenales del volcán. Tienes que aparcar el coche a la entrada que generalmente no está masificado. Después más o menos en unos 15 o 20 minutos llegas al mirador donde estás al lado del mismo cráter del volcán. La pista es muy fácil y transitable para andar. Se puede hacer con niños sin ningún problema. Puedes observar por la pista las plantaciones de vides que suelen ser de malvasía que contrastan con el paisaje de arena negra.

(Translated by Google) A nice hike. I went down from the Visitor Center to the lighthouse and after lunch in the restaurant near the lighthouse, I took the path back up to the Visitor Center. To be honest, I found the way up more pleasant than the way down. Be sure to take enough water with you :) (Original) Eine schöne Wanderung. Ich bin vom Visitor Center runter bis zum Leuchtturm und nach dem Lunch im Restaurant Nähe Leuchtturm, den Weg wieder hoch zum Visitor Center. Ehrlich gesagt empfand ich den Weg hoch angenehmer als runter. Auf jeden Fall genug Wasser mitnehmen :)

Lovely place but it seems to be the mass tourism pick of the islands. So it looks busy even in a dead season.

Nice beach that you could reach with a 30 min walk from st Cruz

Review number 100 🙂 i cannot believe so few reviews this beach is amazing, several nice restaurants nearby and access to a kids beach area and space for wheelchairs. Update as i had no idea there was swimming equipment and beach equipment for disabled. Great idea👍

Beautiful black dance beach, location is great, a 5 min drive from the capital, and due to this, the beach was very quiet without the typical hop-off-hop-on cruise 🚢 travelers.

Awesome beschikbaar, famille friendly and not to busy

Lovely quiet beach. Go to nearby El Pulpo for great potatoes and garlic prawns

Great beach, can’t believe it’s sandwiched between the main city and the airport. It’s really a series of small bays each with a different view, interesting rock formations and a nice combination of sunshine and shade. Although it’s on the east of the island the sun doesn’t leave the beach until at least 6pm. Great facilities including showers and restaurants/ice cream nearby, but doesn’t feel too touristy at all. Recommend a visit!

The best beach in the island. No question. Remote yet accesible, the beach is divided in small bays so you can go to one mostly only for you. Rocks and sand, clean water and you have the pizza in the island just ahead as you leave. Can you ask for more?
