We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
1. Interpretation of natural and cultural heritage in protected areas. Environmental awareness.
Our activities take place in direct contact with the main protected areas of La Palma, such as the Caldera de Taburiente National Park, the laurel forests, and the Biosphere Reserve. Specialized local guides interpret their geological, biological, and cultural values, helping visitors understand the fragility of these ecosystems and the importance of their conservation. In this way, we not only show the territory, but also generate experiences that promote environmental awareness.
2. Minimizing impact and promoting less frequent and less seasonal tourism
We design tours and schedules that avoid crowded areas and peak times, thus contributing to deseasonalization and a more balanced distribution of public use. We encourage small groups, prioritize routes that allow observation without disturbing wildlife, and apply low-impact practices, such as the principle of leaving no trace. Similarly, we offer activities throughout the year to support deseasonalization and to show visitors that La Palma is a destination that is alive in all seasons.
3. Direct contribution to biodiversity conservation
Part of the income from our activities goes towards supporting local conservation initiatives, such as projects to recover endemic flora, programs to monitor protected species, and actions linked to mitigating the impacts of the Tajogaite volcano. In addition, we incorporate moments during the activity dedicated to responsible wildlife observation and explaining the threats it faces, helping to raise awareness and promote more respectful behavior.
4. Boosting local socioeconomic development
We work closely with small businesses, artisan producers, agroecological farms, and family-run accommodations on the island. This allows a significant portion of the value generated by our activities to remain in La Palma, strengthening the local economy and helping to stabilize the population in rural areas. Prioritizing local suppliers also allows us to showcase La Palma's cultural identity to visitors through its cuisine, crafts, and traditions.

For the historical, geological, and botanical treasures hidden in the north of the island.
Bus tour of the historical, geological, and botanical treasures of the north of the island. The hiking route will take us through botanical relics from the Tertiary period to spectacular corners of the World Biosphere Reserve. Thanks to this comprehensive circular route through the northern half of the island, you will discover Benahoarita rock engravings, local wineries, viewpoints, and unique and picturesque places such as Poris de Candelaria.
We start with a bus ride from the east to the municipality of Garafía in the north, where the La Zarza Cultural Park is located. There, in La Zarza, our hiking route begins, approximately 6 km in 2 hours (approx.) of walking through the laurel forest, accompanied by the sound of birds that transports us to a fairy tale.
Next, we will depart by bus to the Bodegas de Eufrosina (El Níspero). We will stop not only for lunch, but also to enjoy the privileged surroundings of this place, which is lovingly cared for and protected (an alternative for lunch is the Pino de La Virgen restaurant).
Afterwards, we will head to the coast of the municipality of Tijarafe, where, after a descent down a winding road that will leave you speechless, and thanks to the skill of our drivers, we will arrive at the car park located ten minutes' walk from Porís. The arrival at Porís de Candelaria is truly impressive. This charming spot bathed by the Atlantic—voted one of the most picturesque places in Spain—combined with the light of the area, creates a peaceful space that you will fall in love with. It is a real treasure for locals and visitors alike. All that remains is to return to the eastern side of the island, but not before enjoying the best views of the Aridane Valley from the El Time viewpoint.
Join us on this impressive journey and explore the rich north of the island of La Palma.
