Mirador de Tajaqué

The Mirador de Tajaqué is one of those special spots in La Gomera that leaves you breathless when the sky is clear. Located in the heart of Garajonay Natural Park, this viewpoint offers spectacular views of the Benchijigua Caldera, an impressive geological formation that hosts an extraordinary concentration of endemic and threatened species native to the island.

Accessible 24 hours a day, this lookout point is an almost mandatory stop for those exploring the northern routes of La Gomera, especially the popular route 18 starting from Pajaritos. From here, you can appreciate a large portion of the National Park's forest mass, with its laurel forests often shrouded in the characteristic Gomeran mist. Mirador de Tajaqué stands out for both its geomorphological and botanical interest, being beloved by hikers and cyclists who travel these mountain roads. Just remember to time your visit well: when the fog lifts, the natural spectacle is simply unforgettable.
