A stunning lookout point offering breathtaking views of the ocean and the distant islands of Tenerife and Teide, perched atop a majestic rock formation.

Mirador Del Balcón

Imagine stepping into a scene that feels straight out of Norway — the ocean waves crash dramatically against the rocks far below, creating a symphony of nature’s power. The winding mountain road, lined with touristic buses, leads you to one of the most incredible viewpoints in the Canary Islands. The vista from here is nothing short of mesmerizing.
