La Palma Special Tour 
Description
Starting from Santa Cruz this tour heads west across the island to the view point at del Time high above the Aridane gorge formed from a collapsed volcanic caldera for views up the gorge and down to the coast. On a cloud free day you can see the land created by both the 1940s and 2020s eruptions. From del Time you head inland to the town of Puntagorda to take in the views of another collapsed caldera and to visit the farmers market. After Puntagorda the next stop is the highest point on the island the 2,400m high Roque de los Muchachos, reached by climbing over a kilometre up a tight winding road the end of the route being through the large astronomical observatory at the top of the mountain home to several telescopes. After the Roque de los Muchachos there is a brief photo stop at a viewpoint on the rim of the Caldera with views down into the crater and on the opposite side up to the North coast of the island. The tour then descends down to Nieves, just outside Santa Cruz to visit the church of the Virgin of the Snow with a final stop at the Mirador de La Concepción before returning to Santa Cruz.
