Tacande Volcanic Landscape Tour 
Description
This tour starts in Santa Cruz with a quick tour through the streets of the city centre before heading up to a view point about 300m above Santa Cruz, Los Cancajos, Breņa Baja and Breņa Alta. From here the tour continues climbing into the mountains and rain forest before crossing through the mountains in a tunnel to emerge on the western side of the island. The next stop is just below the site of the September-December 2021 eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano. From here you take in the views of the still smoking crater, covered in sulphur, as well as the gigantic lava flow the rolled down the hills to the sea. The viewing point is close to where the lava crossed the road, cutting off the road with a wall of rock some 20m high. From the view point the tour heads down into La Laguna where you see the very end of one of the lava flows, which stopped just feet from the towns church. In February 2023 work was still ongoing to remove the solid rock and the buildings it had engulfed and destroyed. From La Laguna the tour continues down to the coast at Puerto de Tazacorte where there is a stop for an included lunch and then the tour retraces its steps back to Santa Cruz, with one final stop at a viewing platform some 3Km from the volcano but looking at it straight on, to get a real idea of quite how much mountain was created in just three months of eruptions
