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.

Three routes, a thousand landscapes: discover the heart of La Palma.
Three-day getaway to three different areas of La Palma's World Biosphere Reserve. Our three full-day routes offer a diverse and balanced view of the island, combining natural landscapes, cultural heritage, and authentic local experiences. All excursions depart from Los Cancajos and are guided by professionals who provide context and interpretive value.
The North Route takes in some of the most iconic viewpoints in the northeast, such as La Concepción and San Bartolo, and visits the historic Santuario de Las Nieves. It also includes a tasting at the Ron Aldea distillery and free time for lunch in the picturesque village of San Andrés. The day ends at the natural pools of La Fajana and the Mirador de La Tosca viewpoint, where you can appreciate the richness of the area's green landscape.
The Southern Route reveals the volcanic character of La Palma with a visit to the San Antonio Volcano, the salt flats, and the Fuencaliente lighthouse. You will also visit the creative Plaza de La Glorieta before free time for lunch and the return trip.
The Roque and Tajogaite Route connects the highest point on the island, Roque de Los Muchachos, with several viewpoints in the northwest and west, until reaching the Mirador de Tajuya, where the recent Tajogaite volcano is interpreted. It includes free time for lunch in Tazacorte.
