Los Indianos La Palma Carnival, Trip From Tenerife

2027

Monday 8 February. The white carnival.

For one day a whole town in La Palma dresses in white. A day trip from Tenerife by ferry, with about seven hours at the party. The morning is calm. It does not stay that way.

People dressed in white with Panama hats in a cobbled street of Santa Cruz de La Palma, with Cuban flags and the red town flag on the buildings
Why Cuba

The rich uncles are back from Havana.

In the 1800s islanders left for Cuba, and the ones who came home rich were called indianos. Today the whole town plays them. That is why you see Cuban flags. The red flag with the cross is not Norway, it is the flag of Santa Cruz de La Palma.

The Powder

Then the talcum starts.

People throw it by hand and spray it from cans, and nobody asks first. Wear white clothes you can wash, and sunglasses to keep the powder out of your eyes. Your hat is not included, but it is cheap and easy to find.

The Cloud

The air turns white, and so do you.

On La Palma the powder is thrown by hand, sprayed from cans and at some carnival events even fired from cannons. There are no reserved chairs, you are in the middle of it. When you need a break, the terraces and bars are open.

De Muziek

La Negra Tomasa dances.

She is the star of the day, the character who arrives with the indianos. Cuban music plays on every corner, and when she dances the party really begins.

Los Indianos La Palma Carnival 2027, The White Carnival

Monday 8 February 2027, Santa Cruz de La Palma. For one day a whole town dresses in white linen and Panama hats, Cuban music plays in every street, and thousands of people throw talcum powder at each other until the air turns white. This is Los Indianos, the white carnival of La Palma and the most unusual carnival day in the Canary Islands. Club Canary takes you there from Tenerife as a day trip: the ferry from Los Cristianos in the morning, about seven hours at the party, and the ferry home the same evening, with a guide travelling with the group. Limited places, and bookings close on 10 December 2026.

What Is Los Indianos, The White Carnival Of La Palma

In the 1800s La Palma was poor, and thousands of islanders left to find work in the Americas, most of them in Cuba. Some came home rich. The people of the island called them indianos, and they loved to show off: white linen suits, Panama hats, cigars, leather suitcases and stories about Havana. Los Indianos is the town of Santa Cruz de La Palma laughing kindly at that return. Once a year, on Carnival Monday, everyone becomes an indiano for a day.

That is why the whole town wears white, why you hear Cuban son and guaracha from every corner, and why Cuban flags hang from the balconies. It is also why you will see a red flag with a blue and white cross that looks like the flag of Norway. It is not. It is the flag of Santa Cruz de La Palma, with the coat of arms of the town in the middle.

The star of the day is La Negra Tomasa, a character who stands for a Cuban woman arriving with the indianos. Her arrival is the moment everyone waits for, and when she dances the party really begins. And then there is the talcum powder. People throw it by the handful and spray it from cans until streets, hats and faces are white. The custom is said to have come over from Cuba, and today it is what makes this the talcum powder carnival that people travel to see.

Los Indianos in short: the La Palma Carnival day on Monday 8 February 2027 in Santa Cruz de La Palma. Everyone dresses in white, Cuban music plays in the streets and people throw talcum powder. It celebrates the islanders who emigrated to Cuba and came home rich. Club Canary runs a day trip from Tenerife by ferry from Los Cristianos, 225€ per adult and 75€ for Canary residents, with bookings closing on 10 December 2026.

How The Day Trip To The La Palma Carnival Works

1
07:15, Port of Los Cristianos

Be at the dock by 07:15 at the latest. Many more people than normal travel this day, so boarding starts early. Bring your passport or ID card, the same one you gave when you booked.

2
08:15, the ferry leaves

A Baleària Canarias ferry takes you to La Palma in about two and a half hours. Expect a full boat, people already in white and a party mood before you even arrive.

3
About 10:45, Santa Cruz de La Palma

You arrive in the port of the capital. From there it is a ten minute walk to the centre, where the party is. Your guide gives you the meeting time and place for the way back.

4
The party, about six hours

From here the day is yours. Walk the old streets, listen to the Cuban bands, eat, drink, dance and join the talcum powder. There are no reserved seats and no parade to sit and watch. You are in the middle of it, and when you need a break you can sit down on a terrace or in a bar.

5
17:45, the ferry home

Be back at the port at the time your guide gives you. The ferry leaves at 17:45 and cannot wait for anyone. The party in the town goes on into the night, so you see the morning and the afternoon.

6
20:15, back in Los Cristianos

You arrive at the dock in Los Cristianos around 20:15, covered in powder and with a phone full of photos.

Ferry times come from the organiser and can change on the day because of the sea or the port. The times on your ticket are the ones that count.

Meeting Point: The Port Of Los Cristianos

There is no hotel pick-up in the south for this trip. Everyone goes straight to the ferry port of Los Cristianos, which is easy to reach from Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos by taxi, bus or car.

Be there at 07:15Not later. If you miss the ferry there is no other boat that day and no refund.
Coming by car?Come much earlier. You need time to find a parking place and to walk from the car to the dock, and the port is very busy that morning.
Coffee firstIt is an early start. You can get a coffee and something to eat at the port before you board.
Paspoort of IDEvery passenger needs a passport or ID card to board. Residents also bring their residence certificate.
Vanuit Puerto de la CruzA pick-up from the north may be possible. Message us before you book and we tell you the options.

Dress Code: White, Head To Toe

Los Indianos has a dress code and almost everyone follows it: white. A white shirt or a white dress, linen if you have it, and a hat. Many people add a fan, a parasol, braces, a cigar or an old suitcase. You do not need to spend much, plain white clothes and a hat are enough, and in white you are part of the party and not a visitor watching it.

What about the hats? Almost everyone wears a light straw hat, the Panama hat that the indianos brought back from Cuba. The hat is not included in the trip, but it is cheap and easy to find. You can usually buy one in a bazaar shop in Tenerife before you go, and there are normally sellers in Santa Cruz de La Palma on the day.

Your clothes will get dirty. The talcum powder goes everywhere: clothes, hair, bags and phones. Wear white things you do not mind washing, bring sunglasses to keep the powder out of your eyes, and put your phone in a closed bag or a clear cover. Bring a light jacket for the ferry home.

Uw collectiekaart

Every Club Canary order for Los Indianos comes with a collectible card of this day, part of our Carnival cards for 2027. If you want your own photo on your card, tell us and we can do that for you.

No reserved chairs on this day. On our Coso Apoteosis and Ritmo y Armonía days you get a chair in the tribune. Here you do not. Los Indianos is a street party: you walk, stand and dance in busy streets for about six hours. You are not on your feet the whole time, because terraces and bars are open and you can sit down for a drink or lunch. But if you need a fixed seat all day, choose the Coso Apoteose.
It is long, early and crowded. You are at the port at 07:15 and home after 20:15, with five hours on a full ferry. We do not advise this trip for children under 11. From 11 years, children pay the normal price.
Talcum powder is the whole point. You cannot avoid it and nobody asks before they throw it. If you have asthma or other breathing problems, or you do not want powder on you, please choose another carnival day.
Your guide travels with you, the party is yours. A guide goes with the group on the ferry and tells you where and when to meet for the way back. In the town nobody walks with you or explains the party. Know your meeting time and keep your phone charged.
The price is high for a reason. Most of it is the ferry to another island on a day when the boat is expected to be full. If you only want a carnival night close to your hotel, our Santa Cruz de Tenerife carnival buses cost much less.

Not In Tenerife For The Main Carnival? This Is Your Day

In 2027 the big street week of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival is two weeks later than usual, from 19 to 24 February. Many visitors who are on the island in early February think they will miss carnival completely. They do not have to. Los Indianos is on Monday 8 February 2027, and it is a completely different carnival: no floats and no costumes, only white clothes, Cuban music and a cloud of talcum powder.

Why Go With Club Canary

Club Canary has taken guests to the Carnival in the Canary Islands every year since 2022, and Los Indianos is the newest day we add. On your own you would have to find a ferry place on the busiest day of the year, on a boat that fills up with residents. With us your place is reserved, your name is on the passenger list, a guide travels with the group and a local team answers your questions on WhatsApp every day from 08:00 to 22:00. Club Canary is a licensed travel agency with an office in Plaza del Duque, Costa Adeje, open every day.

Los Indianos La Palma Carnival 2027, Your Questions

What is Los Indianos in La Palma?

Los Indianos is the biggest day of the La Palma Carnival, held in Santa Cruz de La Palma. The whole town dresses in white, Cuban music plays in the streets and people throw talcum powder at each other. It is a friendly parody of the islanders who emigrated to Cuba in the 1800s and came home rich.

When is Los Indianos 2027?

Los Indianos 2027 is on Monday 8 February 2027, Carnival Monday. Club Canary runs a day trip from Tenerife on that day, with the ferry from Los Cristianos at 08:15 and the return to Los Cristianos at 20:15.

What is the white carnival in La Palma and how can I go from Tenerife?

The white carnival is Los Indianos in Santa Cruz de La Palma, where everyone wears white and throws talcum powder. From Tenerife you can go for the day with Club Canary: you take the ferry from the port of Los Cristianos at 08:15, spend about seven hours in La Palma and are back in Los Cristianos at 20:15.

Why do people throw talcum powder at Los Indianos?

The talcum powder is the best known part of the day. People throw it by hand and spray it from cans until the streets turn white. The custom is said to have come from Cuba in the 1800s, together with the music and the white clothes. Nobody asks before they throw it, so expect to go home white.

Why are there Cuban flags at the La Palma Carnival?

Because the day celebrates the bond between La Palma and Cuba. In the 1800s many people from La Palma emigrated to Cuba, and Los Indianos is about their return. That is why you see Cuban flags on the balconies and hear Cuban music all day.

Why is there a flag that looks like the Norwegian flag?

It is not the Norwegian flag. The red flag with a blue and white cross is the flag of Santa Cruz de La Palma, the town where Los Indianos takes place. It has the coat of arms of the town in the middle.

Who is La Negra Tomasa?

La Negra Tomasa is the star character of Los Indianos. She stands for a Cuban woman who arrives with the indianos, and her arrival and her dance are the moment the party really begins. The character was created in the 1990s and is played by a local performer.

What is included in the Club Canary day trip?

The return ferry from Los Cristianos in Tenerife to Santa Cruz de La Palma with Baleària Canarias, a reserved place on the boat, a guide who travels with the group, and a Club Canary collectible card. Food, drinks, talcum powder and transport to the port are not included.

How much does the La Palma Carnival day trip cost?

225€ per person for adults and children from 11 years, and 75€ for residents of the Canary Islands. Groups of 4 or more adults get a discount that is applied automatically. Most of the price is the ferry ticket, on a day when the boat is expected to be full.

Why do I have to book before 10 December 2026?

The ferry company needs the full name and the passport or ID number of every passenger, and full payment, before 14 December 2026. So you give these details when you book, and Club Canary closes bookings on 10 December 2026. After that date nobody can be added.

What documents do I need?

Every passenger needs a valid passport or ID card to board the ferry, the same one given at booking. Canary residents on the resident price also bring their DNI or NIE and their residence certificate. Without the right documents you cannot board and there is no refund.

Where do we meet and is there a hotel pick-up?

Everyone meets at the ferry port of Los Cristianos in Tenerife at 07:15 at the latest. There is no hotel pick-up in the south. If you come by car, arrive much earlier to park. Guests staying in Puerto de la Cruz can ask Club Canary about a pick-up from the north before they book.

What should I wear to Los Indianos?

White, from head to toe: a white shirt or dress and a straw or Panama hat. Many people add a fan, a parasol or braces. Wear clothes you do not mind washing, because the talcum powder gets everywhere, and bring sunglasses to keep the powder out of your eyes.

Is Los Indianos suitable for children?

Club Canary does not advise this trip for children under 11. It is a long day with an early start, a full ferry and very crowded streets. From 11 years, children pay the normal price.

I am in Tenerife in early February but miss the Santa Cruz carnival. What can I do?

Go to Los Indianos. In 2027 the big carnival week in Santa Cruz de Tenerife is from 19 to 24 February, but Los Indianos in La Palma is on Monday 8 February 2027. With the Club Canary day trip you leave Los Cristianos in the morning and are back the same evening.

Wat is het annuleringsbeleid?

You get 100 percent back if you cancel until 8 December 2026, 60 percent from 9 to 13 December 2026, 35 percent from 14 December 2026 to 31 January 2027, 15 percent from 1 February 2027 until 48 hours before the ferry, and nothing after that or for a no-show. There are no exceptions, because the ferry tickets are bought in your name. Club Canary recommends travel insurance and sends you the documents for a claim.

What are the hats at Los Indianos, and can I get one?

Almost everyone wears a light straw hat, the Panama hat that the indianos brought back from Cuba. The hat is not included in the Club Canary trip, but it is cheap and easy to find. You can usually buy one in a bazaar shop in Tenerife before you go, and there are normally sellers in Santa Cruz de La Palma on the day.

Can I sit down at Los Indianos, or are there chairs like at the Coso?

There are no reserved chairs. On the Coso Apoteosis and Ritmo y Armonía days Club Canary guests get a chair in the tribune, but Los Indianos is a street party where you walk, stand and dance. You are not on your feet all day, because terraces and bars are open and you can sit down for a drink or lunch.

Los Indianos La Palma Carnival 2027, day trip from Tenerife by Club Canary, Plaza del Duque Shopping Centre, Costa Adeje. The date follows the official announcement of Santa Cruz de La Palma. Ferry times come from the organiser and can change; the times and the price in your confirmation are the ones that count.
