Mirador Espigón Atravesado

Mirador Espigón Atravesado is one of those breathtaking spots that makes La Palma truly special. Located in the heart of Las Nieves Natural Park, near Los Tilos, this viewpoint is literally built on the tip of a volcanic dyke jutting into the void, offering spectacular views over the laurel forest and the mountains of the Biosphere Reserve. Getting there is an experience in itself: after a short but beautiful trail through lush vegetation, you reach a narrow staircase leading to the viewpoint. The last steps might give you a slight touch of vertigo, but the visual reward is absolutely worth it.

This landmark is accessible 24 hours a day, allowing you to choose the perfect moment for your visit, though many locals recommend going early to enjoy the tranquility and find parking easily. You can combine the visit with the famous Los Tilos Waterfall, as the trailhead to the viewpoint is just 600 meters before it. The hiking and nature-loving community has made this spot one of the island's must-visit viewpoints, and its popularity is more than justified by the surrounding natural beauty.
