Mirador Lomo de las Chozas
A viewpoint inside the Caldera de Taburiente National Park, in the municipal district of El Paso. The park's visitor guide places it on the Cumbrecita-Lomo de las Chozas itinerary, which returns by the Mirador de los Roques: a circuit of 2,880 metres, graded low in difficulty, averaging an hour and a half, with signposts at the notable points along the way.
The viewpoint lies in the Caldera de Taburiente National Park and is reached on foot from La Cumbrecita. The visitor guide describes the first section as a kilometre of almost level track, suitable for anyone, with panoramic tables giving the place names and explaining the formation of the volcanic dykes. At the end of it comes the Lomo de las Chozas viewpoint, from where on a clear day the many topographical features of La Caldera can be made out.
The circuit starts and returns at 1,300 metres, with 130 metres of ascent and as much descent. On the way back a path drops about 50 metres and crosses small ravines with water and riverside plants, towards the Mirador de los Roques. The guide advises sports shoes and puts the best views at dawn and dusk. According to El Paso's municipal tourism website, vehicle access to the La Cumbrecita car park requires advance booking.
