Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I stopped briefly here as part of a cruise ship excursion - the views are amazing, and it was also great seeing so many ravens close up, bouncing around near the viewing area. They are huge birds, quite uncommon in the UK but there were loads of them here to see. Well worth stopping to take in the awesome views if you are driving around Fuerteventura.

Have stopped here many times to ooh and aah at the view. Even better, though is to get down there and do the walk to that reservoir! You can get to it from two opposite directions - either from Buen Paso off the road to Ajuy, or from Vega de la Rio Palmas. Well worth the effort!

Friday 13th November and we were driving along the winding mountain road from Betancuria to Tuineje.
Along the way we stopped at this viewingpoint where we had amazing views across the Rural Park of Bentacuria.
It was just a brief stop a good photo opportunity.
There are lots of squirrels running around here, there are signs about the place saying "dont feed the squirrels". They can be a bit aggressive, did see a lady getting bitten by one of them.

Hiring a car was the best idea ever. Fuerteventura has some of the most amazing drives, mountains and spectacular scenery. The view points are really well placed. We had no problem parking here to relax and enjoy the most stunning countryside.

Well worth a stop-off on the way through the island. Stunning views of the last active volcano and a lovely walk up part of the mountain. Make sure you read the information point too. Super hot and windy.

Wow!! What an incredible road trip and and amazing views. My 7 year old daughter loved it. You can stop in the car park and just watch the nature. It’s something definitely worth seeing. Would recommend to everyone.

We stopped by and enjoyed the beautful views which are truly amazing, but please everyone watch for the thieves, we've locked the car, checked twice, but still the thieves have stolen our money from the wallet. Everything else left untouched in the wallet only cash was stolen. Just to warn everyone, don't leave anything in the car.

There is a fair amount of parking at this Mirador, though not as much at the one a little bit further down. Competent driving is a must as this road would be tricky for those with not much experience or confidence, particularly in the sections with no centre line. The views are pretty good from here, though most people go for the wildlife. You can watch crows and other birds soaring on the thermals. Best of all are the impish squirrels. They are technically squirrels but look more akin to chipmunks. You can see them bounding about the rocks. Sometimes they are difficult to spot, as they blend in so well. If you stand fairly still, they will normally come up to you and pose by standing on their hind legs. Please abide by the notices all around which tell you not to feed them.
