Colorful Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

One of the biggest tourist attractions of the Caldera de Taburiente national park, which, however, became so accidentally, since initially it was just a dam to contain the waters of the Caldera. But the iron colored its walls and together with the numerous algae that also cover them, gave rise to this very special place.

La Rosera

Highlight • Natural Monument

Apparently, particularly impressive trees have gotten their name in this part of the Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente. This incredible tree that looks like a Harry Potter movie is called La Rosera.

Las Angustias Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

This natural space, at the foot of the Caldera de Taburiente National Park, is formed after the union of the two permanent streams that emerge from the caldera. It is a magnificent place and a stopping point for numerous routes in the area. Despite carrying water almost always, it is advisable to carry water in your backpack, since it is not suitable for consumption and it usually gets a lot of sun. It is also important to wear appropriate footwear because the terrain is steep.

July 27, 2021, Barranco Taburiente zum III. weil's so schön ist😍

My final round 😍 .... for this year. Because it is so beautiful🌺🥾🏞️🤠😎

A difficult route for able-bodied people. The trail from the car park up is probably rarely used. Poorly trodden paths and at about 2 kilometres a signpost shows the direction and partly runs a path that I had to find and unfortunately leads to 3 private properties with a closed gate. I continued along the asphalt road to the nearest entrance to the trail. Further on we reach the car park and the viewpoint and here it is easier because it is downhill. After going down to the stream bed we go back upstream to Cascada des Colores. Return to the car park on a stony bottom, much changed by heavy rains. High trekking shoes are a must

This tour, like the tunnel tour, is one that you always enjoy doing🌺😎 I still have a few days and it's on the plan again. Especially in the morning the path is up in the shade and is easy to walk on. It is really hot on the way back. I had to climb with others because we missed the hiking trail and are always following the water, but it was on At the end of a little adventure built in and nice too 😊🤠

The first part of the route we took a taxi up the hill. Saves you 2 hours walking and cost you 50 Euro. That service is provided on the parking. Beautiful route through pine forest with great mountain views and along an impressive Baranco. Half way is a campsite with facilities. Depending on the water level you have to cross the river a few times. Doing a short of the road track (500 meter each way) you can visit Cascada de Colores with it's orange water.

According to the hiking guide a "must" for every La Palma hiker. Which he's not so wrong about. Great hike from the Los Brecitos parking lot (via shuttle) into the caldera and then back out over the "gorge of the fear of death". Beautiful pine forest hiking trail and beautiful gorge hike in the caldera.

This tour is definitely one of the highlights of the island of La Palma and should definitely be done during your stay! From the car park you can take a taxi to the starting point and from there start the hike comfortably. The waterfall is very impressive and worth the climb. Cascada de los Colores is very beautiful, but that's not why I would do the tour because the path is more beautiful than the destination. Once again a full recommendation 🤩

A true hiking adventure through the heart of the caldera This hike is one of the most impressive tours La Palma has to offer – an absolute highlight for us, and one we've undertaken several times, and for good reason. The route leads right through the mighty Caldera de Taburiente and impresses with spectacular views, unique rock formations, and a striking stream landscape. Even the start at the Mirador de los Brecitos offers fantastic panoramic views. From there, the trail leads steadily downhill, past steep slopes, primeval pine forests, and repeatedly through small streams. Particularly impressive are the vibrant colors of the rocks and the play of the water, which sometimes gently ripples, sometimes more powerfully, making its way through the gorge. The final section through the riverbed of the Barranco de las Angustias is wild and fascinating, but also challenging. Absolute surefootedness is required here – and dry feet are rare. In rain, this section becomes life-threatening, as the ravine can quickly turn into a raging torrent. It is therefore closed after heavy rainfall – so the tour should only be undertaken in stable weather. Those who embark on this diverse hike will be rewarded with an unforgettable natural experience – in the heart of one of the most impressive volcanic craters in the Canary Islands. Tour information: Starting point: Mirador de los Brecitos (access only by taxi shuttle from the parking lot in the Barranco de las Angustias, approx. €15 per person) Ending point: Parking lot in the Barranco de las Angustias Difficulty: Challenging Duration: 6–7.5 hours walking time (without alternative routes), approx. 15 km Elevation gain: approx. 1,300 m descent, approx. 510 m ascent Tip: Start early, bring plenty of water and surefootedness – and be sure to check the weather forecast beforehand!

Hello friends of well-maintained hiking, One of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done. Parked at the Barranco de Angustinas hiking car park (free). The drive from Los Llanos alone is not for the faint of heart! Narrow, tight bends with no clear view make the journey an adventure! Taxis are available at the WP to continue to the Mirador Los Brecitos; the price is €51.00 per vehicle. The price – in my opinion – is justified. Once at the top, enjoy the view of the mountains of the caldera. The first part of the hike down to Playa de Taburiente is on a narrow path without any major challenges. Views open up again and again. There is an information booth at Playa de Taburiente that is worth a visit. There are also rest areas for a break. There is also a campsite on the site. The second part of the hike from Playa de Taburiente back to the WP is more difficult. There are some exposed sections of the trail, so a head for heights is essential. A detour to the Cascada Colorada (waterfall) is a must! Info on Barranco de las Angustinas: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barranco_de_Las_Angustias Conclusion: Oh yes, definitely do it! A fantastic hike in breathtaking scenery.
