La Gomera: Mirador Punta del Belete
Description
A viewpoint looking down one of the many ravines and gorges down the side of the island caused by millennia of water flow. The water has caved away at the rock to reveal the different strata as they were laid down during numerous volcanic eruptions, with clear evidence that at the beginning the volcano must have been active for a very long time, laying down very thick beds of rock, but as time moves towards the modern day the bands of volcanic rock become thinner showing the eruptions may only have lasted for a few months at a time.
