The panorama over the Orotava valley

From this small mirador, you enjoy an overall view over the Orotava valley, one of the finest landscapes of the island of Tenerife. A telescope allows to detail its elements. This verdant and fertile valley descends in a gentle slope from the heights to the sea, offering a spectacular gradient of landscapes: the cultivated terraces, the villages, the luxuriant vegetation, and the town of Puerto de la Cruz by the ocean. By turning around, the gaze can take in, dominating everything, the imposing silhouette of the Teide, the highest summit of Spain, this majestic volcano often capped with snow. The beauty of this valley, celebrated from the nineteenth century by travellers and naturalists, some of whom described it as one of the finest of the world, makes it an emblematic site. Offering a striking panorama, the view over the valley is a contemplative must-see stop of La Orotava.
