Hiking on La Palma

Hiking to the Roque de los Muchachos

Spectacular hike on the crater rim
In the serpentine rich Directions to Roque de Los Muchachos, at an altitude of 2,426 meters, we experience all vegetation zones of the island. Even if the dam Passat clouds on the mountain slopes above Santa Cruz, one has certainly hope for sun in the high altitudes. At the latest in the upper pine forest border the fog. Our goal is above the tree line and above the cloud. Far from civilization, closer to the firmament, we pass the largest observatory in the northern hemisphere. The shiny domes, mirrors and telescopes act utopian in this barren landscape. Several European countries have joined forces in order to observe from this predestined location from the movement-body heaven of.
