Parques naturales La Palma
The beautiful national park of the Caldera de Taburiente is well worth a visit. It was declared a national park on 6 October 1954 and covers an area of 3750 ha. The National Park area was later increased in 1981 to 4690ha when the El Paso town council included woodlands in their area.
The Caldera de Taburiente is a spectacular centre for Canary Island Pines (Pinus Canariensis).
If you do visit the national park it is recommended that you go with a guide as the terrain is unpredictable. A good guide can be found through the tourist information. The guides will choose the best walk depending on the group and experience.
