One of the most spectacular balconies on El Hierro, where the laurel forest opens up to offer views of the Gulf and the highest cliffs in the Canary Islands. The contrast between the humid green of the forest and the endless blue of the Atlantic is unforgettable. It's part of one of the most beautiful hiking trails on the island, and on clear days, the horizon seems endless.

Hiking

Final milestone of the Llanía trail, a popular circular route through the northern part of the central plateau. The path passes for the most part through a south-facing heath fayal, a very interesting botanical phenomenon, and allows one to have a vision of important geological phenomena that make up the volcanic history of the island.
