WHAT YOU VISIT
Roque de los Muchachos Visitor Center
Located 2,426 meters (7,959 feet) on the highest point in La Palma, the Visitor Centers sits inside Caldera de Taburiente National Park, a sprawling 4,690 hectares (11,589 acres) set in the heart of the island. Once inside the visitor center, you'll view exhibits in three galleries dedicated to the caldera and the nearby telescopes of the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, the world-renowned astronomical observatory.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Have your camera ready for one memorable shot after another beginning with a photo stop at a viewpoint on the north slope of the caldera. This natural wonder of gigantic proportions is a sight to behold from any angle. But the sweeping views near the top offer an unforgettable experience. With a circumference of 27 kilometers (17 miles) and a depth of 700 meters (2,296 feet), the caldera is lined with dense pine forests and furrowed by cool streams.
LUNCH
Following your tour, enjoy free time to soak the amazing surrounding before having a boxed lunch of mineral water, juice, one piece of fruit, small pastry, Serrano ham, tuna croquettes, Spanish omelet, salad with olive oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
En route to the Roque de los Muchachos Visitor Center, you'll journey through a landscape of city streets, twisted lava rock flows, scrub-covered mountains and a cloud forest, a natural phenomenon created by high humidity, creating a misty, cool environment.
