가라피아 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Caldera de Agua 경로는 임시로 폐쇄되었습니다 (2026년 5월 19일).

The Mirador del Espigón del Roque at Roque de los Muchachos actually consists of two viewpoints, the second of which feels even further out over the caldera rim. To reach it, you should definitely have a head for heights, as the narrow path leads you along the edge of the precipice, making you feel like you're flying. The view is equally fantastic from both spots. On a clear day, you can see the three neighboring islands of Tenerife, La Gomera, and El Hierro. It can get quite crowded, with many people wanting to experience these breathtaking views. When I was there, the visitors seemed awestruck and silently enjoyed the panorama. It was wonderfully quiet.

It currently looks very neglected.

Magnificent view, 2,366 meters above sea level - the second highest point on La Palma after the Roque de los Muchachos.

At the island's highest point, the 2,426-meter-high Roque de los Muchachos, a hill in the Caldera de Taburiente, is one of the world's best stargazing sites. The uniqueness of Roque de los Muchachos is characterized by a fortuitous combination of natural factors, such as the island's location, its special climate, excellent environmental quality, and the physical characteristics of the site, which result in some of the cleanest skies in the world. Among other telescopes, the renowned William Herschel Telescope, the Nordic Optical Telescope, and the GRANTECAN (Gran Telescopio Canarias), equipped with a 10.4-meter-diameter mirror, can be admired here.

The route is spectacular and yet still easily doable.

Watch out for your snack, the ravens/jackdaws are pretty cheeky! 😉🐦‍⬛

The path is a bit inconspicuous, as it is not signposted. But a detour is worth it, provided you don't suffer from vertigo! ☝🏼
