What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the absolutely stunning and peaceful panoramic views of the Orotava Valley, often describing it as a favorite spot. The opportunity to watch paragliders adds an exciting element. However, some find the access road to be extremely steep and challenging.
"My girlfriend knew the place so she took me there. When we arrived there was not a single person there and the view changed by the minute from clear to full in the mist/clouds to clear again. Great serene place when there's no one around! We sat on the parapenters start for a little hour just enjoying the view and silence"
B De Visser
"Extremely difficult access. The road to the viewpoint is very steep and sometimes there is only one lane for the cars.
However the viewpoint is well taken care of and has a pleasant view.
Furthermore there is also a paragliding track for people to use in own responsability."
