View of El Hierro from the Firebreak

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this firebreak to the south you can see the slope we are at, and if there are not many clouds you will be able to see the island of El Hierro on the horizon.

If you go around the old summit on an e-bike, you should stop at this point if you want to see the last volcano on the island of La Palma up close. From here you can get closer but you must do it on foot, due to the ash the old trails have disappeared and you should take into account that it is a protected area and in some sections dangerous. On 5-13-2023 we did this route and I was still passing gas

View of Tajogaite Volcano

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Tajogaite volcano, which was created during the most recent volcanic eruption on La Palma in December 2021, can be seen very clearly from here. Especially the gigantic lava fields that cover a significant part of La Palma's fertile and urban land.
There are guided hikes in groups of 15 people (cost €30 per person, December 2022), which can approach the crater up to 100m. The distance from here is significantly greater, but the entire crater can be seen from the hike and you can also look into the crater. Don't forget the binoculars!
Hike only possible under certain weather conditions. If applicable. closed due to gas leak.

Llano del Jable Astronomical Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The spectacular viewpoint offers a magnificent view of the Aridane Valley. In front and towards the sea are the towns of El Paso and Los Llanos. In the background, the landscape is framed by the ridge of the Caldera de Taburiente and the Pico Bejenado in front of it.
But the Mirador is also worth a visit at night as an astronomical viewpoint. Due to its remote location and the height above the sea, it offers very good conditions for stargazing.
Thanks to the generous parking facilities, the viewpoint is also a good starting point for hikes (e.g. to the nearby volcanic peaks of Pico Birigoyo or the Bernardino volcano).
