Description:

The first stop will be in the capital to discover some of the most emblematic places, such as:

• The Virgin's Ship : a reproduction of the Santa María, on which Christopher Columbus discovered America. It was built in memory of the sailors from La Palma who left here in wooden boats from our mountains. Inside, there is a naval museum with nautical charts and reproductions of some of the boats made on the island.
• The Castle of Santa Catalina : one of the most important in Spain on the route to the Americas.
• The typical balconies : among the best preserved sets of balconies in the Canary Islands. Special mention for the double balconies built to ventilate the houses.

The next stop is the Mirador de la Concepción , located in the highest part of the Caldereta volcano, declared a “natural space”. From here, you can see the crater and the capital of the beautiful island. Then, you will continue towards the time tunnel, observing how the vegetation on the island changes, and you will head southwest, entering the area affected by the Cumbre Vieja volcano.
