From this viewpoint you can admire El Palmarejo, the work of the renowned major artist César Manrique. From there, we will contemplate the deepest ravine of La Gomera, with its different layers of lava that tell the history of the land. In this spectacular corner began the conquest of the island, marking the beginning of an era full of adventures and challenges. An example of how, in the past, gummers used every inch of soil for sugarcane production. Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the island.
