Mirador Astronómico de Sicasumbre — Attraction in Pájara

A fantastic viewing point. You get fantastic views of the surrounding area. Great sunsets and views of the stars depending on the weather. There is very little light pollution giving clear views of the sky. There is a small parking area at the side of the road for around 6 cars, from here the path is well maintained and defined with ropes and 2 areas with display boards before the top. The path is quite steep but should be easy enough to climb up for most people. It is quite windy at the top so consider wearing a warm fleece or similar. There are mounts for equipment at top and led strobe lights on the path for lighting after dark....

A must-visit for stargazers and nature lovers alike! The Observatorio Astronómico de Sicasumbre is a hidden gem on Fuerteventura.

From its elevated position, you can enjoy a 360-degree vista that encompasses rolling hills, towering mountains, and distant dunes. The observatory is one of the highest points on the island and is often swept by refreshing winds. The observatory's educational displays and tools are a great way to deepen your appreciation for the night sky. A dirt road leads to the site, making it easily accessible for most vehicles.

Don't miss the chance to experience the tranquility and awe-inspiring beauty...

Waste of great potential. First of all “guiding” lights should be red so eyes would not lose adaptation to the darkness every few seconds. Second: there is no equipment, no one to guide you. Why there is no offer for night sky observations from astronomy lovers. That would be great. Even if that person would bring only binoculars and do it only few nights a week. I would definitely Pay extra €5-10. Parking is small, but maybe there is bigger one in place where roadworks were at time...
