Can be reached on a footpath below the edge, parking is available at the "Ermita de las Nieves" or on the small street "Lugar Diseminado Haria".
Also possible as a hiking destination from the Bungalows Famara via the old donkey path "Los Caleteros" (1.5 - 2 hours walk (exhausting!).
There are the natural caves below the path to Peñas del Chache and a whole series of caves below the escarpment that used to serve as a quarry.
The stones from these caves were transported by donkey over the Los Caleteros to La Caleta and used there to build the first houses.
Even when the Famara bungalows were built in the 1970s, stones were sometimes taken from the caves for paths.
