Day 2. The Top of the Island

Breakfast. This day we will make the route of La Cima de la Isla, where we will have the best views of La Palma, the Caldera de Taburiente and the beautiful island.
The walk is of medium difficulty, mainly due to the height, since we walk above 2,000m in the Roque de los Muchachos area . The trail runs along the rim of the crater throughout the day, looking into this impressive erosion crater or towards the northern part of the island, which is often covered in a white blanket. We will be able to appreciate the chain of volcanic craters in that area, La Ruta de los Volcanes . At the end of the route, at Pico de la Cruz , we will make a stop to enjoy the landscape for the last time and be able to take more photos of La Cima de la Isla and the Observatories.

Day 3. Taburiente Caldera

Breakfast. Today we will go to La Caldera de Taburiente, one of the largest erosion craters in the world. After crossing the Barranco de Las Angustias, a winding track leads us to Los Brecitos (at 1,081 meters above sea level), where we will begin the route. The beginning section is very easy, with practically no rocks on the trail. About three hours later we will arrive at the center of La Caldera de Taburiente, where the amount of water that this crater collects is such that it seems that we are in other latitudes. We are in the center of the national park surrounded by high mountains, a perfect place for lunch. The most daring can take a bath in the Taburiente ravine. Then the trail gets lost among the rocks and we begin an intense descent of approximately 1km that will put us to the test. The Barranco de las Angustias full of water will be our exit route and the last stretch of trail until the end of our route.

Day 4. The springs of Marcos and Cordero

Breakfast. We will do the walk of the springs of Marcos and Cordero . We will go up by vehicle to Casa del Monte at 1,300m, passing through the small village of Las Lomadas, with its little houses attached to the road full of orchards where everything seems to grow. There, we will have a few minutes to get ready, pick up our helmet and flashlight to enjoy this route. We will walk along the side of the old canal to the bowels of the ravine of the water, an area where we will walk throughout the day. We will go through 13 tunnels full of surprises and anecdotes, wide enough to go through without much trouble, although you have to bend down and dodge stones on the way. After reaching the first and colorful spring of Marcos, we will be able to see how the water flows from the rock in large quantities and we will access the second spring of Cordero where we will eat something, in a very quiet place.
The part of the walk to Los Tilos will put us to the test with a descent of 1000m in 8km. The first part of the descent takes us to the bottom of the ravine, to then take us to the deepest parts of this protected area. We will enter the Los Tilos forest and go to the Espigón viewpoint to photograph this wonderful protected area and face the last section of the walk.
