Hiking on La Palma
Puntallana is the starting point of many hiking trails. The landscape here is beautifully green and densely covered with laurel forests.
Puntallana is a quiet village. This is the easternmost part of the island, which means that it has more hours of sunshine compared to Santa Cruz, for example, and has less cloud than the higher parts of the eastern side.


Paragliding
Do something unique? Then go paragliding for an afternoon.
Bird's eye view of La Palma is one of the most beautiful experiences you can have in the Canary Islands. The volcanic landscapes and the beauty of the coasts offer panoramic images full of contrasts that are emphasized when viewed from the air. It is therefore not surprising that all Canary Islands have a wide variety of spots for paragliding.


Horse riding
Various riding schools on La Palma offer horse riding tours through different areas. The tours take you along black lava beaches, forests and over the volcanoes of La Palma. Novice riders can get a horseback riding course at a riding school in El Paso.
