Mirador de Tajuya
Description
At the height of the volcanic crisis in 2021 this was the closest that you could get to the volcano where people came to see the eruptions from a 3Km distance. Today it's still an excellent point to see the volcano from, getting the full view of the top of the crater, covered in sulphur deposits, as well as the lava flow stretching down to the sea.
Charge
Getting There
From Santa Cruz take the 300 bus - every 30-60 minutes to the view point, journey time is around 30 minutes and on the way out includes a ride up through the high mountains and rainforest before heading through the 1Km short tunnel in the mountains. The return trip uses the near 3Km long base tunnel so you see very little of the rainforest.
