   The longest lavatunnel i all of Europe, with more than 18 km now explored. A vulcanic tunnel that now has caused scientific interest, because of the cocroach born without eyes. An absoultely amazing experience to get a guided tour into this underground vulcanic world. Highly recommended for those who want to experience something different in this beautiful island.

   What an absolute amazing road trip. If your visiting La Palma this has to be no 1 place to visit. Check the weather out before you go via the La Palma web cams. We went up today and the LP 4 route from Sant Cruz is breathtaking. The route is typical La Palma following the contours of the mountain. The route starts via lush green vegetation then it opens out to pine forest then high mountain ranges. Take your time traveling not to avoid the fantastic view points. You then turn off the LP4 up to the top. Limited parking for around 18 cars but parking can be had near by. Then you walk out to see the unbelievable breath taking views - stunning. Walk forward step by step to see one off the best views in the world (honestly I have travelled across the globe). Admire nature at its best. There is a clue in why the biggest observatories are here!!!! This place is awe inspiring and inspirational. Please take time out here and replenish your soul. See more..
   
3. 5.0 Caldera de Taburiente (1.148 reviews)
   - Fabulous views and landscape
   National Parks
   
   
   We pre-booked our parking space at La Cumbrecita (which you need to do if you are visiting in your hire car) and drove up from Los Cancajos. The views from up here are amazing, We did the Lomo de los Chozas circular walk (about one hour - including photo stops) which is a must if you are up here. If you are driving up I would recommend to do this you need to book a two hour slot which will give you plenty of time. See more..

   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   We walked for a day from Hermigua more or less following the El Cedro stream passing the waterfall, making a roundabout south of El Cedro area and back to Hermigua. Several hiking alternatives but rather steep and only for the sure footed. Also easy walks are possible in this fascinating forest. See more..
   
6. 5.0 Caldera Blanca (236 reviews)
   - Brilliant view of crater
   Volcanos
   
   
   The walk took us a few hours we walked around the crater anticlockwise where as most I would say clockwise. Great view of the National Park from both sides of the crater. You will need to carry water and any refreshments you require. There is no shelter. See more..
   
7. 5.0 Volcano Route (174 reviews)
   - Best trek of the island, amazing changing scenery throughout.
   Hiking Trails • Volcanos
   
   
   We did 4 treks overall in La Palma and they all covered different terrain but this was the best! You can easily get a taxi to El Pilar from los Llanos or Santa cruz (we picked one up from the taxi rank behind plaza de la Almeda, the ship museum, €30 ~1hr, and you can park all day for free between calle carias and the start of LP101 near Almeda, just park in a white bay not a blue one). We walked to Fuentecaliente and took a bus back to Santa cruz (~1hr, they leave every 2hrs, €2.50 ish) but theres stuff to do in Fuentecaliente if you are early, like the bodegas/artisanal shop). It took us 5hrs, starting in the windswept and wet/windy moon scape at the top near El pilar, down through the forested area and on to the sunny green slopes above fuentecaliente. The views are amazing throughout. We went a few days before the transvulcania run but still only met 4 ppl going either way all day. Really easy to follow the signs. On the main street in Fuentecaliente there is a good tourist office if you want to confirm when the bus is etc. Take water / food, there are no villages or shops on the way. See more..

11. 5.0 Parque Natural de Cumbre Vieja (51 reviews)
    - Sublimely breathtaking volcanic landscape
    National Parks • Parks
    
    
    This is an amazing place that left me in awe. The scenery is indescribably beautiful and human beings are few and far between. The trails teeter on the edge of precipices with stunning views that make you appreciate why people started visiting 'sublime ' landscapes in the first place. A word of warning, however - you need to be fairly fit and well shod, as the paths can be treacherous at times due to masses of stones and dust that move under your feet when you least expect it - and I was wearing good hiking boots! Unless you're an expert mountain walker, add at least 30% to the estimated walking times provided in the otherwise excellent info provided at the visitors' centre. Take plenty of water and remember - the sublime cannot be tamed... See more..

    - Iconic
    Lookouts • Observation Decks & Towers
    
    
    Whenever you look at La Gomera places to go this place is always on the front page. An Iconic Rock formation probably photographed more than any other rock on La Gomera. Well worth the trip up the mountain, just hope there are none of my tourist coaches around at the time. See more..
    
15. 5.0 Pico de la Nieve (20 reviews)
    - Amazing scenery, great walks, a must see area in La Palma...
    Lookouts
    
    
    If I got my geography right then this was the endpoint of our Caldera rim trail walk starting out at the highest point near the astronomical observatories. The whole trail along the rim follows one of the GR trails then heading down through the beautiful pine forests it's another minor trail. All are clearly signposted at fairly frequent intervals and have way-markers along the route too. The highpoint is rocky and barren as is the Caldera rim trail and then a complete contrast is the beautiful pine forests as you descend to the road and parking area. I'm sure we missed loads on just our single visit to the rim trail but were lucky with only some clouds coming and going as we walked. Trails are varied, plenty of up's and down's but not so steep as other bits we walked on the island. These areas are definitely a must see if you're in La Palma. See more..

    - Nice views...
    Lookouts
    
    
    Stopped here for some respite from the curvy road for 15 mins and enjoyed a great view over to La Palma. There is also a statue here commemorating the whistling language of La Gomera and also the church of St Francis of Asissi, which was inaccessible on our visit. Made some nice photos though and worth a stop. See more..

18. 5.0 Barranco De Los Conejos (2 reviews)
    - Cala de juguete
    Beaches
    
    
    Diminuta cala que sugue al final del barranco de los conejos. Si se desea hacer una ruta de senderismo hasta Pedro Barba resulta perfecta para refrescarse a mitad de camino.. A partir de esta cala el camino hasta Pedro Barba es más abrupto e incómodo. Precisa de calzado de senderismo o seguro. See more..
