Description
Though at 2,648 feet it's not breaking any height records, you'll find no better place for a panoramic picture here on Fuerteventura. Pico de la Zarza is the highest point on this laid-back and tourist-friendly isle, the second-largest of the Canary Islands and all of Macaronesia—a sprawling series of archipelagos that also includes the Azores, Madeira, and Cape Verde. Chasing big views like this? Make sure to add Tenerife to your itinerary: Just a short-hop flight away, the largest and most populous of the Canaries is also home to Mount Teide, the highest point among all Atlantic islands at 12,188 feet.
