Excursion to Charco Azul

Charco Azul is a truly amazing caprice of nature, where the volcanic energy of the island of El Hierro and the ocean that bathes its coasts have created a bathing area with turquoise waters. For the cruise-goer who loves nature areas and swimming in the sea, it will be an unforgettable experience.

Swimming inside a volcanic cave

Access to this hidden treasure on El Hierro is not complicated. From the boat, only a short journey of less than 30 km by road separates the cruise-goer from this place. Once there, you simply go down some safe steps to get past the steep drop (which you'll also have to go up on the way back). Once at El Charco, there is a comfortable wooden solarium in addition to the experience that allows you to swim inside a little volcanic grotto or under the blue Canary Island sky. .

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Use the waste- paper baskets and, insofar as possible, separate and place your recycling waste in the appropriate containers.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- In natural spaces and at viewpoints, do not leave the trail or the spaces designated for people to be in.
- Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the public furniture and items for visitors, such as information panels or telescopes and binoculars.
