Starting from Famara, participants will ascend the rugged cliff face, enjoying island panoramas at every turn. The journey continues along the Camino de Los Gracioseros before reaching the charming village of Haría. Here, guests will enjoy lunch at Tacande restaurant, followed by an exploration of the whitewashed streets and thriving palm groves of Haría.

    On Adventures with Mike Horn: Explore La Palma’s Wild Beauty and Piratical Past by Land & Sea, guests will delve into La Palma’s beauty and history. Starting in Tijarafe, Horn will guide participants through the island’s subtropical environment down a coastal path to Porís de Candelaria, a hamlet at the cliff’s base. From there, guests will sail with Horn to the spectacular Cueva Bonita, a sea cave once used by fishermen to evade pirates. Known as the ‘Atlantic Sistine Chapel’.
