Punta de Papagayo

The viewpoint features elevated cliffs that extend into the Atlantic Ocean, providing panoramic views of the Papagayo beaches and neighboring Fuerteventura island.

This coastal area served as a strategic observation point for local fishing communities to monitor maritime activities and potential threats during the 18th century.

The site represents the natural heritage of Lanzarote with its volcanic rock formations, which influenced the architectural principles of César Manrique throughout the island.

Visitors should bring water, comfortable shoes, and sun protection as the location lacks facilities and requires walking on unpaved paths to reach the viewpoint.

The cliffside position allows observation of marine life, including dolphins and sea turtles swimming in the clear waters below the volcanic rock formations.
