This viewpoint at the top of the green mountain range of Anaga in northern Tenerife, is an excellent opportunity to put your camera to the test. Especially if you can take 360-degree photos. Looking east on clear days you can see the whole mountain range all the way to the city of Santa Cruz. To the west, the island rises majestically from the sea to the highest mountain peak of Teide. With medium to good visibility Gran Canaria and La Palma can also be seen rising from the sea.

The impressive ravine of Valle Gran Rey boasts some of the most picturesque views on the west of the island of La Gomera, such as the spectacular bird’s eye view offered by the Palmarejo Viewpoint. From this high vantage point, the visitor has a spectacular view of vertical rock walls, terraced hillsides, palm groves and traditional houses. All of which justify the classification of the valley as a Rural Park and a Unesco Biosphere Reserve.

If the Caldera de Taburiente (caldera = crater) were a huge auditorium created by nature itself, the Cumbrecita Viewpoint would be the best seat in the house.

The views of this immense valley and its dozens of ravines covered in pine are simply unforgettable.
