Mirador de Las Penitas
Viewpoint over the Las Penitas ravine and dam, an unusual green oasis in Fuerteventura.
This viewpoint looks onto a scene unusual for Fuerteventura: a small oasis amid the arid landscape, where the Las Penitas ravine lets tamarisks and palms thrive beside a dam. Nearby stand the chapel of the Virgen de la Pena and the start of a walking route down to the reservoir. It is a good stop on the Betancuria road; morning or late-afternoon light brings out the green of the valley.
