This viewpoint is located on a hairpin bend of the TF-436, approximately 500 m before the parking lot of Masca village. It is from here, and not from the official parking where most visitors stop, that the view is most spectacular: the village clinging to the bottom of the ravine, wedged between two 600 m cliffs. You suddenly understand why Masca remained isolated for centuries.
The bend is narrow and busy: cars pass close to the roadside, stay alert when stopping for photos. Most visitors head straight to the village parking lot without stopping here, which keeps the viewpoint relatively quiet even in high season.
On the TF-436, in the Teno massif, in the west of Tenerife. Free, open access. Car essential, winding road. For the Barranco de Masca hike (descent to the sea, return by boat), head to the village itself, a few hundred metres further on: see the dedicated page.
