Booking option: Tajogaite volcano hike in La Palma

The volcano hike on La Palma leads along a 6-kilometre trail through the newly created landscape around the Cumbre Vieja. The formation of Tajogaite created new, mystically beautiful land in less than 100 days. The hike with an official guide starts in Llanos del Jable and leads over 6 kilometres to the neighbourhood of Las Manchas. Depending on the walking speed of the group, the tour takes between 3.5 and 4 hours, with gradients of -600m/+100m.

The terrain still consists of volcanic ash and surefootedness is absolutely essential. On this hike, we will come within one metre of one of the volcano's craters. During the hike, you will learn more about the new volcano on La Palma - and what consequences the eruption had for the island.

On 19 September 2021, the earth opened up and the incessant flow of lava buried houses, roads and plantations. Many settlements on La Palma were destroyed and many people had to leave the affected areas. At the same time, this metamorphosis has once again shown what a unique landscape is created when Mother Nature unleashes her powers.

An impressive hike to La Palma's new volcano Tajogaite

The hike to Tajogaite volcano was impressive. In just 100 days, the 2021 eruption created a whole new landscape on La Palma. The guided hike took about 3.5 hours and was doable, although you have to be well on your feet because of the volcanic ash. We got to within a metre of the crater, which was quite impressive. The guide was professional and gave a lot of information about the volcano and the effects of the eruption. It was fascinating to hear how the lava destroyed houses and roads, while at the same time creating a unique landscape. Make sure you bring enough water and good shoes, you really need them! Unfortunately, the transfer was not included, but otherwise it is definitely recommended for nature lovers and adventurers.

Een indrukwekkende wandeling naar de nieuwe vulkaan Tajogaite op La Palma

De wandeling naar de Tajogaite-vulkaan was indrukwekkend. In slechts 100 dagen heeft de uitbarsting van 2021 een geheel nieuw landschap op La Palma gecreëerd. De begeleide tocht duurde zo'n 3,5 uur en was goed te doen, al moet je wel goed ter been zijn vanwege het vulkanische as. We kwamen tot op een meter van de krater, wat behoorlijk indrukwekkend was.

De gids was professioneel en gaf veel informatie over de vulkaan en de gevolgen van de uitbarsting. Het was fascinerend om te horen hoe de lava huizen en wegen verwoestte, terwijl er tegelijkertijd een uniek landschap ontstond. Zorg ervoor dat je genoeg water en goede schoenen meeneemt, dat heb je echt nodig!

Helaas was de transfer niet inbegrepen, maar verder is het absoluut een aanrader voor natuurliefhebbers en avonturiers.
