What you can expect

  • The Cumbrecita vantage point, located on the southern edge of the Caldera de Taburiente, will be the start and end of a circular trail through a pine forest, interpreting the natural and cultural features you'll encounter along the way.
    The Caldera de Taburiente was one of the first national parks created in Spain, specifically in 1954. Its wide and deep depression awes visitors, who are surprised when they learn about how it was formed.
    The presence of water is of utmost importance, and its source, flow, and use are one of the defining features of a territory. The Caldera de Taburiente is the largest watershed in the Canary Islands.
    The forest in this national park is one of the finest examples of pine forest in the Canary Islands. The importance of the flora and the historical significance are closely linked to the territory of La Palma, especially as they regenerate after a forest fire.
    The ruggedness of its steep slopes was not an impediment to the entry and exit of people and animals, who defied that steep incline.
    The ancient inhabitants of the island found their last stronghold inside this huge cavity before the island was conquered at the end of the 15th century. Their presence in the interior has left traces of their existence, both inside and on its highest peaks.
    The most hidden corners of this huge depression will be explored along the route.
