Highlights of La Palma

Santa Cruz de La Palma

Refreshments included

by coach & on foot

Leaving the port behind, sit back and relax as you embark on a scenic drive to Santuario Virgen de Las Nieves. Inside this small, whitewashed church, you will find the island's most sacred icon, the Virgin Mary of the Snows, the patron saint of La Palma.

Travelling along mountain roads that offer spectacular views, you'll arrive at La Caldera de Taburiente. Located within the National Park, this 5-mile-wide volcanic crater stretches up to the mountain ridge running from north to south on the island. The crater was not formed by volcanic activity but by subsequent erosion and is forested with the exceptional fire-resistant Canary Pine.

Next, enjoy some local refreshments at Finca La Principal, a traditional 17th-century farm set in beautiful gardens with breathtaking views. On the way back, a brief photo stop will be made at the viewpoint Mirador de la Concepcion, where you can admire the stunning coastal views and the northern part of the island before returning to the ship.
