Hiking

The petroglyphs of Las Tricias are rock carvings by the indigenous inhabitants of La Palma (Benahoaritas), located in the cave dwellings of Buracas near the village. These carvings, mostly over 2000 years old, mainly consist of geometric forms such as spirals and circles and originate from a pre-Columbian culture whose exact meaning remains unclear.
