The caldera of Taburiente is a place full of beauty and biodiversity, you can make spectacular hiking routes through many points of this spectacular place.

On the island of La Palma, in the municipality of El Paso is the volcano of Desired, also known by the name of Pico or Natural Area of La Deseada. This point is at an altitude of 1949 meters above sea level, is a long row of volcanic peaks and is part of the spine that divides the slopes of the southern part of the island in two between the lighthouse of Fuencaliente and the popular refuge of El Pilar.

The mountain range in which the natural environment of La Deseada is located is known as Cumbre Vieja and has a length of 5 kilometers and a height that varies between 1500 and almost 2000 meters. It is interesting to note that despite being called Cumbre Vieja it is the youngest part of the island and it is formed by a series of volcanoes, of which four have had volcanic activity in the last 500 years, which proves which is one of the most active dorsals on the planet, as well as offering privileged views on both sides of the island.

Mountains
The Bejenao is a mountain on the Canary Island of La Palma (Spain) that separates the Aridane Valley from the Caldera de Taburiente.
The mountain forms a triangular massif between the Barranco de El Riachuelo, the Barranco Tenisca, the Barranco de las Angustias and the southern edge of the Caldera de Taburiente. It is separated from the Cumbre Nueva by a step called La Cumbrecita. It is a volcanic building of stratovolcano type, originated by the reactivation that produced the decompression caused by the landslide of Aridane, origin also of the Caldera de Taburiente. The northern slope of Bejenao has been destroyed by erosion and landslides caused by the action of Barranco de Las Angustias.
Its peak is 1,854 meters, and its name is a precolonial voice of the ancient auaritas (in it there are several archaeological sites).
It is covered by pine forests and constitutes an impressive mass that stands out in all the landscape of the southwest of the island.
