Hike PR LP 11.2: Circular Route from Puntagorda to Puerto de Puntagorda

An insight into the hike:

This circular hike near Puntagorda on La Palma impressively combines coastal scenery, nature, and authentic insights into the region. From the village center, the route leads down to the small, secluded harbor Puerto de Puntagorda, which you reach via several flights of steps. Here, a special place awaits you right by the Atlantic Ocean – in summer even featuring a natural swimming pool, ideal for a refreshing break.

The hike is very diverse in terms of scenery, but especially on the return route, it requires a good level of fitness due to longer and sometimes steep ascents. You will enjoy wide views of the ocean, peaceful natural sections, and the feeling of being away from the usual tourist paths.
