5 Outdoor plans to enjoy in August in La Palma

August is the perfect month to explore and enjoy all that La Palma has to offer. The so called “Isla Bonita”, with its warm climate and breathtaking landscapes, is a true paradise for nature lovers and outdoor activities. From Hacienda San Jorge, we invite you to discover five outdoor plans that will make your holiday an unforgettable experience.

1.Hiking in Caldera de Taburiente

If you love hiking, the Caldera de Taburiente National Park is a must. Imagine walking between ravines and waterfalls, surrounded by lush Canary Island pine forests, with a stop to cool off in a river with spring-fed pools of water. One of the most popular trails takes you to the colourful waterfall, a hidden gem that won’t leave you indifferent. Put on your hiking boots and immerse yourself in the purest nature of La Palma.

 2.Stargazing at Los Andenes near Roque de los Muchachos

La Palma has one of the clearest and most starry skies in the world, and the vicinity of the Roque de los Muchachos is the ideal place to contemplate it. Climbing to an altitude of more than 2,300 metres and observing the stars in all their splendour is a magical experience. You can pre-book a guided tour to learn more about the constellations or simply enjoy the view, which is dazzling. From Hacienda San Jorge, we encourage you to live this unique experience.

 3.Relax on the beach of Los Cancajos

If you prefer a day of relaxation, we recommend Playa de los Cancajos. This black volcanic sand beach is just a few metres from Hacienda San Jorge. It is perfect for swimming, snorkelling or just sunbathing. The crystal clear and calm waters are ideal for the whole family. In addition, you can enjoy a short walk along the promenade and stop to enjoy the local food in the nearby restaurants.

4.Explore the Cube de la Galga

Can you imagine being in an enchanted forest like the ones in the movies? Cubo de la Galga is a real treasure. This laurel forest, declared a Biosphere Reserve, hides shady paths that look like something out of a book. And what about the giant ferns, which are a spectacle to behold. It is the perfect place for a refreshing walk in the middle of summer. It is the perfect place for a refreshing walk in the middle of summer.
