Caldera de Taburiente route – La Palma

The Taburiente Caldera National Park is the very heart of La Palma. And one of the best itineraries to explore it is the one that begins at the Los Brecitos viewpoint and ends at the Las Angustias ravine.

This Route takes you to discover many of the most special corners of the park: viewpoints that leave you speechless, trails that run among the famous Canarian pine trees, views of Teide rising imposingly on the other side of the ocean, waterfalls and rivers with crystal-clear waters, and multiple ravines with dizzying vertical scarps. It is very difficult to explain in words all the majesty of this journey.

It is a long itinerary, full of ups and downs. Towards the middle, next to the so-called “Taburiente beach”, there is a service center with a camping area, a small exhibition, bathrooms and a first aid station. It is perfect for having a picnic and continuing the adventure.

The Route begins and ends at the Viña parking lot, in the Las Angustias ravine. You have two options. The first is to start walking from that same point and travel the distance between the parking lot and the Los Brecitos viewpoint on foot, going along a steep and not very interesting road (private cars cannot enter the road). Alternatively, you can take a taxi from the car park to take you to the viewpoint. There are always taxis waiting and you can share with other hikers.
