Cruz del Carmen Viewpoint

Lookout point in a laurel forest

If you go into the laurel forest of Anaga Rural Park you will find this lookout point, which gives you a great panoramic view of the Vega Lagunera and in particular of the city of La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the distance, high above, you will be able to delight yourself with the silhouette of El Teide. Highly recommended both for the views and the unforgettable beauty of the surroundings. Next to the lookout point there is a restaurant, visitor center and flea market.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Respect and look after the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, binoculars and telescopes, etc.).
Respect the signposting along trails. Leaving the set paths and spaces causes damage to the environment and could also be dangerous for you and anyone with you.
Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.).
