LA PALMA, CANARY ISLANDS

Our tour will take us to the oldest part of the island and its lush vegetation. From Santa Cruz de La Palma, we will go to the viewpoint Mirador de San Bartolo de La Galga, situated right on the edge of two deep-cut gorges.

From here, we travel north to the evergreen forest Los Tilos, where many indigenous plants of the island are found, including the Canarian holly tree, strawberry tree, heather and the Canarian bellflower. This wild territory is made up of beautiful and varied landscapes. Los Tilos is one of the richest areas in the Canary Islands in terms of fauna and flora.

Following our visit, we continue to the attractive little town of Los Sauces. We will then have some free time in the village of San Andres, before visiting a rum factory to learn how this beverage is processed. We shall also have the opportunity to taste this typical Canarian product, before we make the return journey to Santa Cruz de La Palma and our awaiting ship.
