PICO DEL POZO DE LAS NIEVES
Peak at 1,949 m above Tejeda offering an exceptional landscape from the viewpoint
At 1,949 m, it is the island's highest peak. The view from the mirador is exceptional on a clear day. The view extends to the other side, the north-west of the island, dominated by the Roque Nublo peak, above the Presa de los Hornos reservoir. And the Canarian saying goes that "if you can see Fuerteventura, it's raining". This peak owes its name to the natural excavations of volcanic origin in which the monks kept snow in reserve, sometimes until summer in the 17th century, for domestic purposes: freezing, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties for administering treatments.

Point culminant de l'ile d'ou nous pouvons apercevoir l'ensemble de l'ile.
Lors de cette journée nous nous sommes baladés entre roque nublo et pico de la nieves et nous avons été bluffés par la vue.
Prévoir une voiture et du temps car les routes sont très sinueuses.
On apperçoit meme le teide avec tenerife
Des radars militaires occupent l'espace mais un petit belvédère est accessible au bout de la route.
Vue magnifique sur l'île et en particulier vers l'ouest (Roque Nublo et Pic du Teide sur Tenerife).
