High in the highlands of Villa de Mazo rises Roque Niquiomo, a striking phonolitic rock formation with vertical walls that captures the attention of hikers and nature enthusiasts. This protected area designated as a botanical reserve reaches 1,350 meters in altitude and stands out for harboring unique plant species, some of them true endemic rarities that have found shelter among its slopes and caves.

The PR LP 16 trail leads to this imposing rock, crossing volcanic landscapes where vegetation adapts to altitude and terrain conditions. While the ascent presents some demanding gradients, the route rewards with sweeping views spanning parts of La Palma island. The area invites careful exploration, paying attention to uneven ground and small rocky outcrops that characterize the place.

Highly valued by those seeking less crowded corners, Roque Niquiomo offers a distinctive experience on clear days, when light enhances the contrasts of the volcanic landscape. Natural caves add a touch of mystery to the surroundings, while the special flora turns each visit into a small botanical discovery in the open air.
