Parque natural de Las Nieves

Outdoors / NatureProtected Areas Natural Park

Across the northern municipalities of La Palma, the Las Nieves Natural Park unveils a landscape where the deep green of the laurel forest takes center stage. This protected area, comprising the Los Sauces and Las Nieves mountains, offers a network of trails weaving through ancient woodlands, some leading to the renowned Marcos and Cordero routes, where water springs carve their way through tunnels and lush vegetation.

Those venturing into these trails discover waterfalls, passages carved through rock, and scenery that rewards every effort of the climb. Many access from Casa del Monte via 4x4 vehicles, an experience that adds excitement to the journey's start. The terrain can become slippery, especially on descents, making proper footwear essential. Bringing a change of clothes is also common, as water becomes part of the adventure along several sections.

Beyond the signature route, the park allows exploring viewpoints offering sweeping vistas over ravines and peaks. Stopping by the visitor center before exploring its trails helps choose the most suitable route based on skill level and available time, ensuring a memorable experience in one of the island's most cherished natural corners.
