The eruption of Cumbre Vieja on 19 September 2021 gave rise to Tojogaite, a new volcano on the island of La Palma that can be explored on foot with a professional guide. A trail has been set up from the Mirador Astronómico del Llano del Jable, at an altitude of 1,200 metres, so you can get close to the crater and take full advantage of the unique environment created by the 2021 eruption. A total of 7 km of walking awaits you on a circular route with 370 metres of ascent, a moderately difficult route requiring good physical condition. Your hike to the Tajogaite volcano will therefore take around 3.5 hours, with breaks along the way!
You will reach the Cumbre Vieja Natural Park by taxi from El Paso, accompanied by your guide who will ensure your safety throughout the hike to the Tajogaite volcano. The trail begins by approaching the cone of the Tajogaite volcano, where there are still pine trees, and then passes through an area once cultivated with fig, mulberry and chestnut trees. As you get closer and closer to the crater, you will be able to see the impact the eruption has had on its surroundings, with dead trees, fumaroles, and lava flows. There will be plenty of time for your guide to explain in more detail the history of the volcano, its geology and many other fascinating aspects of the world of volcanoes on the island of La Palma!
Impressive for its scenery and the discoveries it makes, this hike to the Tajogaite volcano of Cumbre Vieja will provide you with an exceptional hiking experience in La Palma. Whether you are a volcano enthusiast or simply a lover of beautiful scenery, this is an activity that is sure to please everyone!
