Bandama Viewpoint

A road, winding through the vineyards of Tafira Alta, will take you to the Pico de Bandama Lookout Point, from where you can see a panoramic view of the municipality of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the volcanic caldera of Bandama and much of the northeastern part of the island of Gran Canaria. In addition, the lookout point has a Tourist Information Point. Both the Pico and the Caldera de Bandama are two natural units of great singularity and scientific interest. The cone is also an outstanding element of the landscape, visible from a great distance and with a magnificent panoramic view from its apex; the caldera has a perfect structure, which makes it one of the most beautiful in the Canary Islands. In addition, inside the caldera there are engravings made by ancient inhabitants of the island.

Sustainability

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Respect and look after the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, binoculars and telescopes, etc.).
- Respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths and spaces causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
