Discovering La Palma
|
Direct Charter Assurance from Star for Cheap Car Rental La Palma |
The
vast majority of visitors to La Palma are attracted by the dramatic
landscape of this tiny, peaceful Atlantic island. The volcanic origins
of the Canary Islands continue to be the most dominating feature on
La Palma; the last eruption was from Teneguía in 1971. The
island’s central region is the location for the awesome, La Caldera
del Taburiente, which is the world's largest volcanic crater. The
circumference of the crater measures almost 17 miles, whilst the volcanoes
steep ridges reach a depth of 3,500ft. These massive slopes are a
National Park covered with dense laurel forests that are over 20 million
years old. On the northern edge of La Caldera del Taburiente is the
island's highest mountain Roque de los Muchachos. The summit of Muchachos
is the location for an impressive international astronomical observatory
and the grounds are open to visitors by appointment.
Situated
on the west coast of La Palma is the popular resort of Puerto de Naos.
This small village has an excellent beach of fine, black sand and
a comprehensive range of facilities. In the nearby town of Tazacorte
visitors will discover a small, harbour town with fine beaches surrounded
by banana plantations. Mazo, on the east coast, is the location for
the Belmaco Cave system, which boasts prehistoric inscriptions and
an observation platform from which to gain fantastic coastal views.
Fuencaliente
is the most southerly village of the island. It is surrounded by pine
forests and vineyards that dramatically contrast with the volcanoes
in the region, the most famous of which are San Antonio and Teneguía.
La Palma occupies a prime position in the Atlantic Ocean from which
to travel throughout the Canary Islands. Visitors who are seeking
an excursion away from La Palma will find that the beautiful island
of El Hierro is a short ferry trip away. El Hierro is the smallest
of the Canary Islands offering unspoilt countryside and hospitality
that is legendary throughout the archipelago.
