Hike through the heart of the National Park.
Together we will walk through one of the largest erosion craters in the world: the Caldera de Taburiente, declared a national park in 1954. A huge cirque with a diameter of approximately 8 km and a depth of almost 2,000 m, resembling a caldera, where the passage of time and several eruptions, landslides, and the erosive action of water have shaped a landscape that is as rugged as few others. A spectacular hiking route (14 km; 6.5 hours; medium-high difficulty) from Los Brecitos—at an altitude of 1,030 m—descending through a cozy pine forest to the camping area on the banks of the Taburiente River. Through the Barranco de las Angustias, we follow in the footsteps of King Tanausú. The force of nature is impressive. We pass by the famous "Cascada de Colores" (Waterfall of Colors) and leave La Caldera through the deepest section of the ravine, thus concluding this spectacular hike through one of the most fascinating landscapes in the world.
We start the excursion in a local taxi. After a half-hour drive, we begin walking at the Los Brecitos viewpoint and descend along a gently sloping path with lush vegetation to the camping area next to the Taburiente River, the only permanent river in the Canary Islands. We will follow in the footsteps of Mencey Tanausú, the last king of the aboriginal people of La Palma who was taken prisoner by the conquistadors, and descend through the deepest ravine in the National Park, not suitable for people who suffer from vertigo, to the famous "Cascada de Colores" (Waterfall of Colors), which awaits us in the riverbed with the possibility of cooling off in it (if you wish, you can bring your swimsuit, water shoes, and towel).Colored Waterfall, which awaits us in the riverbed, where we can cool off (if you wish, you can bring your swimsuit, water shoes, and towel).
The route is for people who are used to walking, with a 200-meter elevation gain and a 900-meter elevation loss.
