TO THE CRATER OF THE NEW VOLCANO
GUIDED TOUR IN LA PALMA
We want to share with you that indescribable feeling of witnessing
something so powerful, where the force of nature left its mark
without asking permission.
Walking here isn’t just about seeing a volcano:
it’s about understanding, feeling, and remembering the power
of what we cannot control.
The fire didn’t extinguish the strength of this community. It ignited it.
Their resilient determination inspires us, and we want to share it with you
in this place full of history, stories, and above all, life.
We have seen firsthand how the lava consumed homes and fields,
but we have also seen how the people of La Palma never give up.
They are untamable, like the island itself.
We are in ground zero.
We will guide you to discover the youngest land in Spain.

FACTS
ABOUT TAJOGAITE VOLCANO IN LA PALMA
Tajogaite Volcano and its surroundings are an open-air museum,
a petrified testimony of nature’s power
and its impact on human life.
The Cumbre Vieja Natural Park is a fragile and constantly evolving space,
whose conservation is everyone’s responsibility.
To protect it, it is essential to follow my guidance as a guide,
stay on the trail, and not take ash or stones.
Along the way, we can enjoy the flora and fauna, which are gradually
recovering in this pristine and fertile territory.
La Palma Excursion is committed to preserving the environment,
ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy this unique landscape.
We must act responsibly and sustainably.
Because we believe the most beautiful footprint is the one we don’t leave behind.
