THE TRIP
Muntania gives you the opportunity to discover the most emblematic places of the La Palma Island. For seven days we will explore the extensive hiking paths of the most craggy island of Canarias, exploring all its secrets. We will walk through hills and cliffs of the National Park of Caldera de Taburiente. At the natural reserve of Cumbre Vieja we will pass through volcanic craters and we will contemplate the amazing geological formations and the salt flats of Fuencaliente. We will also visit one of the best laurel forests of Canarias at the Natural Reserve of Las Nieves where you can enjoy the incredible views over the sea of clouds at the sunset from the Pico de la Cruz Mountain.
The mild climate of these latitudes, the everlasting spring, and the friendly atmosphere of our accommodations, will enhance your experience in this paradise. Everyday we will reach our destination by private transport in order to enjoy the scenery, villages, people and gastronomy of the island. If one wants to walk also needs to eat, and at the Canary Islands, this is a great pleasure: papas arrugadas, mojos, fish, fruits, sweets and of course…. the famous “barraquito“.

Insurance policy
This activity includes a basic insurance policy; however, we highly recommend to add, for wider coverage, an extra specific travel policy. This extra policy can be contracted exclusively for the activity dates or annually (flexible starting coverage date), covering not just Muntania Outdoors trips but any other sport activity you may carry out throughout the year.
Extra insurance coverage with cancellation option, will allow you or a family member, in case of incident, to get back the total paid amount (or a percentage if you are already travelling) either for plane tickets or any trip service you might have hired. Moreover, through this coverage home return expenses will be taken care of.
Intermundial insurance company is our supplier for extra coverage insurances; thanks to the signed agreement between parties, Muntania gets to offer lower prices than handling directly with them. The travel insurance with cancellation option offered by Muntania will covered up to 900€ for national trips and 2000€ for abroad travel. In case your total trip cost is higher than the given coverage limit, an extension is always possible (please consult).
