In Gran Canaria, this highest point is the hill where the Mirador del Pico de Las Nieves viewpoint is located. It is located in the centre of the island at a height of 1,949 metres. From here you can see far across the island, which has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Its deep gorges full of vegetation and enigmatic rock formations are a real feast for the eyes.
