From peaceful trails to impressive viewpoints, the surroundings offer endless opportunities to discover the islands’ distinctive landscapes.
Volcán San Antonio
Located in Fuencaliente de La Palma, in the south of La Palma, the Volcán San Antonio is one of the island’s most impressive volcanic landscapes. Its crater, formed through volcanic activity, offers visitors the opportunity to walk along the rim while enjoying panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean, the surrounding volcanic terrain, and the southern coast of the island.
Ruta de los Volcanes (Volcano Route)
This iconic trail is part of the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park and provides an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, hikers and photography enthusiasts. Along the way, visitors can admire the unique contrast between black volcanic landscapes and the greenery that has gradually returned to the area, showcasing the extraordinary geological beauty of La Palma.
Salinas de Fuencaliente (Fuencaliente Salt Pans)
Located on the southern coast of La Palma, the Salinas de Fuencaliente are a unique landscape where traditional salt production meets the island’s volcanic scenery. Surrounded by black lava formations and the Atlantic Ocean, these salt pans create a striking contrast of white, pink, and ochre tones as seawater evaporates in the different pools.
Playa de Echentive
The nearby Charcos de Echentive natural pools provide a peaceful place to enjoy a swim while admiring the contrast between the black volcanic rocks and the ocean. The area is also a great starting point for exploring the volcanic landscapes of southern La Palma, including the Teneguía volcano and surrounding trails.
