Can be reached from the Roque de los Muchachos via a small path and is highly recommended. Sturdy shoes are also necessary here, as the path winds along very steep slopes.

A perfectly maintained and easily accessible viewpoint. The hike starts at the parking lot at Roque de los Muchachos. A small path begins next to the information booth, initially climbing slightly. The trail leads along a reddish ridge of porous rock, passing various natural viewpoints. These offer a series of beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding gorge and mountain landscape. The trail continues past a fenced area where you can see rare and endangered species of native flora that are being bred here for re-introduction. After about ten minutes, you reach the first small rocky peak. This offers impressive views of Roque Chico in the foreground, Barranco de los Cantos to the left, Barranco de Hoyo Verde to the right, and the lower peaks of Los Agujeritos.

From here, the trail leads slightly to the right and descends briefly before reaching the Espigón plateau. In good weather, the view from here extends to the neighboring islands.
