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.

Hiking trail through the most recent volcanic eruption.
On September 19, 2021, at the foot of Cumbre Vieja, the ground opened up and began an uninterrupted eruption that lasted 84 days. This is the Tajogaite volcano, which has been the protagonist of the latest volcanic episode on La Palma. To discover the youngest soil in the Canary Islands and Spain, we will take a 7-kilometer hike lasting about 2.5 hours, accompanied by a certified guide, where we will approach the closest authorized point to the volcano and see the various control and measurement instruments that are still used today to study the volcanic process. A breathtaking landscape.
Not recommended for people with respiratory or mobility problems or those who are not used to hiking.
