Playa de la Concha: Relax on this beach with white sand and turquoise waters. It is perfect for swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling in its coral reefs.

​

Puertito Beach: Authentic natural pool of white sand and black volcanic stone, the Puertito de Lobos is one of the two beaches to see on the Isla de Lobos. It is a paradisiacal corner of turquoise waters where you can swim in a completely calm sea. Do not forget to bring your glasses and tube to snorkel.

For those who want to show off their paradise on vacation, its wooden walkway is the ideal place to take pictures. In addition, with the high tide this little pier is transformed into a springboard.

Caldera de la Montana Circular Hiking Route: Embark on this hike to discover the volcanic caldera, spot seabirds and enjoy unique nature. The complete itinerary will take you about 2-3 hours. I recommend you walk from left to right to get to the ascent of La Caldera with charged batteries (in case you want to go up).
