Mirador Barranco de Azuaje

The Mirador Barranco de Azuaje is one of those privileged viewpoints that the north of Gran Canaria offers you, a strategic spot to contemplate the magnitude of this impressive ravine descending from the highlands to the sea. Located between Moya and Firgas, this lookout allows you to admire the course of a watercourse born at over 1,600 meters altitude, changing names several times along its descent, reflecting the history and geography of the area. From here, the view encompasses the intense green of the Canarian laurel forest, that humid woodland characterizing the northern midlands, creating a landscape of lush vegetation and seasonal waterfalls.

This natural spot is part of the Gran Canaria Lookout Network and is a must-stop for those exploring the area in search of wild nature and spectacular views. Accessible 24 hours, the viewpoint is the ideal starting point to discover Barranco de Azuaje, recognized by hikers as a fascinating route crossing laurel forests and giant ferns, with sections where water requires small jumps over logs. A perfect place for landscape photography lovers and those seeking to connect with the island's most authentic nature.
