What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the spectacular, sweeping views of the Caldera de Taburiente and the surrounding volcanic landscapes. It's also highly praised as an excellent spot for astrophotography. Some note that parking can be challenging and the drive is winding.
"The views are stunning all around here, but from this viewpoint you get a most spectacular view. I'd driven up through the clouds along a road where every turn is a hairpin bend, so it's a long drive but well worth it for the views and the sunset."
Rob Cowell
"Great viewpoint over the volcano and the surrounding national park (Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Tabu). Parking is not easy and can be busy but fortunately, most people only stop for a few photos. There are other viewpoints but this is the easiest to drive to, I recommend going to the others depending on where the Sun is."
