Mirador de los Poleos

Mirador de los Poleos offers unparalleled views of La Palma's rugged landscape, particularly the volcanic crater Taburiente and the Cumbre Vieja ridge. Not as crowded as other viewpoints, it's perfect for serene photo ops especially at sunrise or sunset when the light plays dramatically with the terrain. The area is characterized by its verdant pine forests and the contrasting black volcanic soil, offering a unique color palette for photography. The viewpoint is accessible by a short hike, allowing photographers to capture untouched natural beauty. Nearby, the San Juan volcano and the recent lava flows from the 2021 eruption add to the dramatic landscape, offering a mix of devastation and regrowth themes. Don’t miss capturing the endemic flora, particularly after the rainy season when the landscape is especially vibrant.
