The programme

The bus heads for Cumbre Vieja and from your window you’ll already see the clouds on the crests of the volcanoes, the real backbone of La Palma.
In the heart of the island, from the natural balcony of La Cumbrecita, you look out with your guide over the Caldera de Taburiente: a magnificent depression with a diameter of a kilometer and a half covered in evergreen shrubbery.
After the pine forest and dark land of the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park, your collection of local icons continues in an artisanal workshop, where you’ll discover the scents and secrets of the 'puro palmero', the fine cigar of the Canaries.
Another viewpoint, more photos: from La Conceptión the view extends over the Valle de las Breñas, over the white houses of Santa Cruz de la Palma and over the blue of the Ocean.
Then, you immerse yourself in the sacred atmosphere of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snows. It’s here that you’ll find the oldest Marian statue in the Canaries, adorned with precious jewels and clothes. Now you really have been completely immersed in the island.
