Canary Islands - La Palma (PDF Chapter)

This is the La Palma chapter from Lonely Planet’s Canary Islands guidebook.

La Palma, the greenest of the Canarian islands, offers the chance to experience real, un-spoiled nature – from the verdant forests of the north, where lush vegetation drips from the rain-forest canopy; to the desertscapes of the south, where volcanic craters and twisted rock for-mations define the views.
