Description
Mirador de la Cumbrecita is located on the southern edge of the Caldera de Taburiente in the National Park in the center of La Palma. The area gives you the oppurtinuty to enjoy some of the best viewing points on the island. It's also a great place to observe birds in the fairly sparse (pine) forested mountain hills.
One of the first species you'll see or hear are Grand Corbeau. They can be seen soaring over the mountainous hills and their calls are being echolocated against the steep rockwalls. Also Crave à bec rouge can be seen in small flocks flying over the hills. The pine forested hills give a great habitat for species like Pinson des arbres, Pouillot des Canaries, Roitelet huppé and Serin des Canaries. Both endemic species of laurel pigeon, Pigeon de Bolle and Pigeon des lauriers, can be seen here too, but its not the best location on the island due to its sparse forested areas.
The rocky hills give also a great oppurtunity to see and hear Perdrix gambra, but its a difficult species to find. These parts are also good for Pipit de Berthelot.

Accès
The area is accessable through the visitor center down the caldera at El Paso. You'll have to buy a ticket there, but you'll have to decide within which time period you want to visit the area. Its better to buy a ticket the day before your visit. You can enter the park by car all the way up the caldera and walk from there.
