Top 20 Caves 엘패소 주변

A deep sinkhole opens up here: It's a volcanic vent approximately 70 meters deep, which can be circumnavigated on secured paths. A few steps allow you to descend into the hole, but trying to see the bottom is doomed to failure.

The route is currently closed.

Did this tour today. Some pretty narrow paths along steep cliffs. Not for the faint hearted! Be sure to have sufficient hiking experience and make sure you have hiking poles. Necessary! Else too dangerous / slip falls. Piece of advice: bring a flashlight for the water tunnels.

This was the first tour of our La Palma holiday. It was supposed to be an easy one. However, it ended up being a steep uphill climb over some rocky paths covered in roots. However, we were rewarded with a variety of plants, some of them exotic, that grow wherever there is a patch of earth. At the turning point in the tour, there is the option of doing the circular route through a tunnel, which also contains the channel that carries water from the summit into the valley. This tunnel is visibly blocked off with four gates, distributed along the entire route. However, you can go past it from the side, which is what a few hikers did, i.e. keep your head down. It is not completely dark, as the tunnel is repeatedly ventilated through holes in the rock.

There is a branch off the main path at the westernmost tip that leads down to the sea on the other side. Not as well secured as the main path, but not dangerous. Here you can usually enjoy your hiking break in peace and without Insta hotspotters!

Attention, this hike from El Jesus, the church down into the gorge is currently still closed in September 2024! We don't know whether you can still walk it. Both entrances are extensively cordoned off. In addition, extensive road construction work is currently taking place, which makes hiking difficult.

The often so-called “dragon head” (with an impressive nose horn) is a landmark of Tijarafe: The hiking trail essentially leads through its mouth - you can see the (almost) white "teeth" and the black sooty "lips" (from breathing fire?): The goatherds used to light their campfire in the cave in the evening. You can see the sea from the street through the "eye" (the famous hole in the rock): if the dragon is blue-eyed, the weather is good.. ;)
