The 6 Best Volcanos in La Palma, Canary Islands

November 15, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

La Palma is a pristine paradise, set against a backdrop of volcanic landscape. Perhaps the best way to experience La Palma’s rugged beauty is a hike through the Caldera de Taburiente National Park or the narrow gorges of Los Tilos. The cool waters of natural swimming hole Charco Azul beckon on a steamy day. The dark sands of Playa Nueva are great for sunbathing and cat naps.

Volcan Teneguia

Reviewed By PEAtts - Kettering, United Kingdom

Thoroughly enjoyed our volcano trip, interesting display and information in the visitors centre before a little hike along the volcano ridge itself. Definitely glad I had a jacket as it got quite windy up there and the walk can be a little slippery underfoot so trainers at least are a sensible choice. Views from the top are spectacular and worth the walk, not sure the Spanish are so worried about health and safety as I doubt the single rope along the pathway would hold you back if you took a tumble.

Volcan de San Antonio

Reviewed By LinzCarter - El Paso, Spain

We visited on a sunny day at the beginning of August, the entry price was very reasonable and we got it even cheaper as residents! The information centre was very well laid out and there was loads of information in English and German as well as Spanish. We then ventured outside, the earthquake simulator was a bit of fun and then walked around the rim of the volcano admiring the views into the crater and down to the sea. We then returned to the centre and were slightly disappointed to find the on site cafe closed despite it only being around 3.30 and long before the tours closed. All in all an interesting and reasonably priced activity.

Tubo Volcanico de Todoque

Reviewed By cherriesfan_9 - Cheltenham, United Kingdom

Interesting landscape shaped by the past volcanic eruptions, from which molten magma flowed in a variety of directions and formed crusts or in this case tubes. It was all dependent on the intensity of the flow, and the consistency of lava, as well as how quickly it cooled. The whole area is a bit of a moonscape - virtually nothing can grow in the barren rock, as there is no ground soil - all water just simply soaks away. Interestingly, some vines are cultivated here, but require intensive cultivation, watering to produce quality grapes.
