There’s a reason La Palma is known as La Isla Bonita. This little Canary Island is packed with volcanic landscapes, pine-scented forests and trails that lead to some seriously impressive views. And when you’re exploring on foot, you get to see the island at a slower pace, with plenty of time to stop and take it all in.

From the otherworldly scenery of Caldera de Taburiente to winding paths through the laurel forests of the north, there’s a whole lot to discover. You might find yourself following an old volcanic route one day, then wandering along a cliffside trail with the Atlantic stretching out below you the next.

Whether you fancy a full-blown walking holiday in La Palma or simply want to fit a few hikes into your getaway, you’ll find trails for all sorts of adventures. Keen walkers can tackle longer routes on less-trodden trails, while easier paths make it simple to enjoy a taste of La Palma hiking without going all out. So, lace up your boots and get ready to see this beautiful island from a different angle.
