Hike La Palma’s Tajogaite Volcano with a German guide, loose ash, crater views, pine forests, and practical advice for a demanding 4.5-hour walk.
“Die Informationen von Lucy in perfektem D und Sp waren sehr umfassend. Man spürte ihr Engagement für die Sache und sie machte uns verständlich, dass der Ausbruch eines Vulkans nicht nur negativo Seiten hat. Von der technischen Seite her müsste man vielleicht deutlicher darauf hinweisen, dass die Tour wegen des Höhenunterschiedes für ü70jährige gute Kondition voraussetzt. Bei uns dauerte die Tour bei rassigem Tempo auf und ab mehr als 5 Stunden, zum Teil auch auf tiefer loser Asche, Ältere Jahrgänge hatten z.T. echt Mühe.”

“A summit hike on El Teide is highly recommended if you are in Tenerife. We had a fantastic trip, with our guide/coach Elena. She arrived on time and made our night/ day unforgettable. Elena made us to a common team, and we all felt we was in good hands and safe for reaching the El Teide. We had a great night together up to the top, with a lot of nice stories about the mountain and she took very nice pictures of everybody in the team. Elena was well organized, with good social skills and had useful information about Tenerife and El Teide. She had reached the top many times.…”
