La Crestería

A trail along the Caldera de Taburiente ridge

This is one of La Palma’s quintessential volcanic trails, perfect for mountain lovers. It runs along the entire ridge of the Caldera de Taburiente, starting at the Roque de los Muchachos and ending at the Pico de la Nieve, although different variations are possible, such as finishing at the Refugio del Pilar. It offers impressive views overlooking the Caldera de Taburiente National Park. You can admire the southern slope on one side and the northern slope on the other. Along the way, near the Pico de la Sabina, you can see a tagoror, a meeting place for the Auaritas, the first settlers of the island, as this area was of great importance for the them. The interesting pine trees with their original shapes are not to be missed along the way.
