La Palma: Tajogaite Volcano Guided Hike

5.Tajogaite Volcano Guided Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 275 reviews · 4h 30m · from $43Cheapest way up

Join Lucy on a German-language hike to La Palma’s Tajogaite Volcano, also called Cabezavaca. Walk 6.5 km across fresh volcanic ash, pass several 2021 eruption craters, and reach viewpoints near the south crater. Expect steep sections, loose footing, volcanic vapor, sulfur deposits, and about 4.5 hours on foot.

“Die Informationen von Lucy in perfektem D und Sp waren sehr umfassend. Man spürte ihr Engagement für die Sache und sie machte uns verständlich, dass der Ausbruch eines Vulkans nicht nur negativo Seiten hat. Von der technischen Seite her müsste man vielleicht deutlicher darauf hinweisen, dass die Tour wegen des Höhenunterschiedes für ü70jährige gute Kondition voraussetzt. Bei uns dauerte die Tour bei rassigem Tempo auf und ab mehr als 5 Stunden, zum Teil auch auf tiefer loser Asche, Ältere Jahrgänge hatten z.T. echt Mühe.”

The meeting point, was at a quaint little church, however it is quite remote, most other members of the group arrived by car, however, we arrived by taxi, Sandra kindly dropped us back at our hotel. Memorable parts of the trip were the meditation by the crater, and watching the sunset with snacks and wine. Thank you for a memorable afternoon.”
